Description
What/Why
What are you proposing?
Set the Java 21 as a minimum supported version.
What problems are you trying to solve?
Allowing to use features of the java versions > v 8 in the source of the opensearch-java project.
Are there breaking changes to the User Experience?
This change would not be a backward compatible.
So, it makes sense to implement it in the following new major versions.
Note that the OpenSearch sets Java 21 as mininum supported versions since v3 (see their release notes https://github.com/opensearch-project/OpenSearch/releases/tag/3.0.0-alpha1)
