Supported Java Versions
- Apache Hadoop 3.3 and upper supports Java 8 and Java 11 (runtime only)
- Please compile Hadoop with Java 8. Compiling Hadoop with Java 11 is not supported: HADOOP-16795 - Getting issue details... STATUS
- Apache Hadoop from 3.0.x to 3.2.x now supports only Java 8
- Apache Hadoop from 2.7.x to 2.10.x support both Java 7 and 8
Supported JDKs/JVMs
- Now Apache Hadoop community is using OpenJDK for the build/test/release environment, and that's why OpenJDK should be supported in the community.
- Other jdks/jvms should work well. If you find they don't work as expected, please file a JIRA.

| 1.8.0_242 | Kerberos Java client will fail by "Message stream modified (41)" when the client requests a renewable ticket and the KDC returns a non-renewable ticket. If your principal is not allowed to obtain a renewable ticket, you must remove "renew_lifetime" setting from your krb5.conf. | JDK-8131051 | |
| 1.8.0_191 | All DES cipher suites were disabled. If you are explicitly using DES cipher suites, you need to change cipher suite to a strong one. | HADOOP-16016 - Getting issue details... STATUS | |

You need to set the system property "jceks.key.serialFilter" to the following value to avoid this error: java.lang.Enum;java.security.KeyRep;java.security.KeyRep$Type;javax.crypto.spec.SecretKeySpec;org.apache.hadoop.crypto.key.JavaKeyStoreProvider$KeyMetadata;!*" | HADOOP-15473 - Getting issue details...
