David, any problems with ES if Tika migrates to jdk8? -----Original Message----- From: Konstantin Gribov [mailto:gros...@gmail.com] Sent: Wednesday, August 23, 2017 1:11 PM To: d...@tika.apache.org<mailto:d...@tika.apache.org> Cc: POI Developers List <dev@poi.apache.org Subject: Re: POI 4.0 and Java 8 Hi, folks. IIRC we moved to jdk7 somewhere around 1.9-1.10. Primary issue was not to break downstream libraries and projects of course. Same as before we will have to make at least two releases after decision about such a migration (to announce java 7 support deprecation in first release and migrate on next one). Since Oracle jdk7 get EOL status in 2015, it seems ok to migrate to jdk8 to me. We originally discussed it as a minor goal for 2.x but its release time frame isn't clear and, I guess, wouldn't be clear in next several months at least. I'd like to know what other PMCs & devs could say about downstream projects and migration. Apache Solr requires 1.8 since 6.0 (Apr 2016), so it wouldn't be an issue to them. Maybe someone could shed some light on other downstream who isn't on jdk8 yet. If there's no blockers for that I'm +1 for migrate to java 8.

Up till now we had a discussion [1], about the next Java SE, i.e. Java 7 or 8, and it looks like Java 8 is the preferred version - with the restriction on how you'll get along with that decision. In an ideal world you would say, ok we switch to Java 8 too, but I guess this won't happen ... at least not so fast. To continue the discussion, I could try to gather a few arguments why it would make sense to switch, but in the end you also have upstream dependencies to check for, e.g. elasticsearch [2]. So I would choose a different approach...: - do you have any plans to switch to Java 8? when would that be? - if we decide to go on, how much of an impact would that be for Tika (... to rely on an older POI version)? - any recommendations? maybe something like a mixed versions jar Thank you, Andi [1] http://apache-poi.1045710.n5.nabble.com/Discussions-on-POI-4-0-Java7-8 -voting-td5728560.html [2] https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/setup. html -- Best regards, Konstantin Gribov
