Devin G. Bost created SQOOP-3397: ------------------------------------ Summary: Java version issues with Sqoop on AWS EMR Key: SQOOP-3397 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SQOOP-3397 Project: Sqoop Issue Type: Bug Affects Versions: 1.4.7 Environment: Amazon EMR emr-5.14.0 and up. Reporter: Devin G. Bost
The current build of Sqoop 1.4.7 appears to require Java 7. The version of Sqoop 1.4.7 on Amazon's Elastic Map Reduce (EMR) platform appears to be running on Java 8. We need a way to be able to build Sqoop extensions on Java 8 so that they are compatible with the version of Java running on the EMR versions of Sqoop. Otherwise, when attempts to run the extension of Sqoop are made (such as for a custom Manager class), Java version mismatch errors occur that block compilation of the class files that need to be generated for imports. How can we build Sqoop 1.4.7 on Java 8 so that extensions and plugins can be built with Java 8 so that they will still be compatible with the architecture of the other Apache tools (such as Hadoop) that otherwise break on EMR instances when the Java version must be switched to Java 7 to support Sqoop extensions and plugins? -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v7.6.3#76005)
