+1 (non-binding) I have done the following: * Built and Tested storage-release-2.8.0-rc0 using OpenJDK8 * Built and Tested ORC with updated storage api version - Had to fix a test class that implements PredicateLeaf which has a new method. This is a breaking change but I think this should be ok * Verified the performance gains of HIVE-24458
