A long enough list of small changes eventually equates to a big change. People generally can't update applications from Java 8 or below to a new one without code updates.
- waynesonfire 8mo agoIf hadoop did it, so can you. I'm talking about a project that stretched Java 8 to, and arguably beyond, its intended operational boundaries. Unlikely that you’re leaning on this boundary. It's Spring Boot upgrades that will be giving you troubles.
- nitwit005 8mo agoThey clearly did have Java version issues, as the different Hadoop versions list ranges of JDKs they're compatible with.
- gf000 8mo agoMostly an automatic updater call (for javax->jakarta) and a few dependency bumps away in the majority of cases. Plain vanilla java code is really backwards compatible, on both a syntax, and on a binary level. You can often find decades old jars on some random university site, working with JDK 25 with no issue.
