Not for those of us stuck in Java 8... Is it stable already?

  I hear that some Amish sects permit the use of technology that's older and proven not to be too worldly, like washing machines, chainsaws, and Java 11. Have you considered converting?

    Yeah... Unfortunately golden handcuffs are binding me to the financial sector and, specifically, to Hadoop

      Hadoop >=3.3 supports Java11.

    Virtual threads only became stable in Java 21, unfortunately (https://openjdk.org/jeps/444 https://openjdk.org/jeps/444). If the issue is "I'm bound to Java 8" proposing running a research build of Java 11 in production is going to fly as well as a lead balloon on the moon.

      Even so, it's pretty new, isn't it? I don't quite trust the claim it's completely transparent to applications and libraries...
