Description
Description
We should move on and deprecate Java 8 compatibility. This will make tremendous improvements in the way we maintain the SDK.
But I only think we should do it if we are sure that at least 80% or more of our users are using Java 9 and newer.
TODO:
- Ensure the Java version is collected in the analytics (headers)
- Generate reports and make a decision
- Plan the changes and the breaking changes
- https://github.com/meilisearch/meilisearch-java/issues/869
- Find a good Java version to be the minimum required version that are still supported by a lot of users
