Though I prefer Java 8 most of the time I have to work on Java 7. A lot of the infrastructure I work on still runs Java 7, one of the companies I build a prototype for a while back just updated to Java 7 2 years ago. I doubt we can ditch Java 7 support any time soon if we want to make it easy for companies to use Flink.

Subject: [POLL] Who still uses Java 7 with Flink ?

Hi all!

I would like to get a feeling how much Java 7 is still being used among Flink users.

At some point, it would be great to drop Java 7 support and make use of Java 8's new features, but first we would need to get a feeling how much Java 7 is still used.

Would be happy if users on Java 7 respond here, or even users that have some insights into how widespread they think Java 7 still is.

Thanks,
Stephan
