What kind of official statement do you want? As far as I can be considered an official voice of the project, my statement is: "various people run in production with Java 7 and it seems to work".
Or to answer the initial question, the only issue related to Java 7 that I know of is CASSANDRA-4958, but that's osx specific (I wouldn't advise using osx in production anyway) and it's not directly related to Cassandra anyway so you can easily use the beta version of snappy-java as a workaround if you want to. So that non blocking issue aside, and as far as we know, Cassandra supports Java 7. Is it rock-solid in production? Well, only repeated use in production can tell, and that's not really in the hand of the project. We do obviously encourage people to try Java 7 as much as possible and report any problem they may run into, but I would have though this goes without saying.
