You could always run HBase on a different version of Java if it has a problem on 8. We only talk to it through RPCs so I'm fairly sure the HBase client on Java 8 will talk to an HBase server on Java 7 just fine.

I will be using Apache Spark for doing most of the computations on data stored in HBase. Although Hadoop seems to support JDK 8 with some tweaks, the official HBase site states the following for version 0.98, Running with JDK 8 works but is not well tested. Building with JDK 8 would require removal of the deprecated remove() method of the PoolMap class and is under consideration. See ee HBASE-7608 for more information about JDK 8 support. I am inclined towards using JDK 8 specifically for the support of lambda expressions which will take a lot of verbosity out of my Spark programs(Scala learning curve is a deterrent for me as a possible bottleneck for future talent acquisition). Is it a good idea to use Spark/Hadoop/HBase combo with Java 8 at the moment?
