---------------------------------
Summary: datanucleus breaks when using JDK7
Key: HIVE-3632
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-3632
Project: Hive
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Metastore
Affects Versions: 0.10.0, 0.9.1
Reporter: Chris Drome
Priority: Critical
I found serious problems with datanucleus code when using JDK7, resulting in
some sort of exception being thrown when datanucleus code is entered.
I tried source=1.7, target=1.7 with JDK7 as well as source=1.6, target=1.6 with
JDK7 and there was no visible difference in that the same unit tests failed.
I tried upgrading datanucleus to 3.0.1, as per HIVE-2084.patch, which did not
fix the failing tests.
I tried upgrading datanucleus to 3.1-release, as per the advise of
http://www.datanucleus.org/servlet/jira/browse/NUCENHANCER-86, which suggests
using ASMv4 will allow datanucleus to work with JDK7. I was not successful with
this either.
I tried upgrading datanucleus to 3.1.2. I was not successful with this either.
Regarding datanucleus support for JDK7+, there is the following JIRA
http://www.datanucleus.org/servlet/jira/browse/NUCENHANCER-81
which suggests that they don't plan to actively support JDK7+ bytecode any time
soon.
I also tested the following JVM parameters found on
http://veerasundar.com/blog/2012/01/java-lang-verifyerror-expecting-a-stackmap-frame-at-branch-target-jdk-7/
with no success either.
This will become a more serious problem as people move to newer JVMs. If there
are other who have solved this issue, please post how this was done. Otherwise,
it is a topic that I would like to raise for discussion.
