Hi folks, JDK 8 was officially released in March 2014, and brought a bunch of new features to the runtime and compiler. A side-effect of using java 8 language features is that it requires a >= 1.8 runtime, This means users currently running the scheduler with java 1.7 would need to upgrade their JRE. We have a ticket [1] to track adopting JDK 8 on our end.
Does anyone have an opinion on which release we should aim to include this change in, if at all? [1] https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AURORA-274 -=Bill
