Description

Java 8 is over 5 years old and will be end of life in 2019/2020. Java 11, the latest long-term support release, became GA in September 2018. Given that FLINK-8033 still hasn't been resolved and that Java 9 was end of life (discontinued / no longer publically available or supported) since March 2018, it doesn't make sense to continue trying to add Java 9 support when both Java 9 and Java 10 are end-of-life.
