Description

Compilation with Java 8 in Eclipse returns errors, which are related to the use of generics. This does not effect command line maven builds and is confirmed to be a bug in Eclipse.The fix is scheduled only for the next release, so all of us using Eclipse now will have that error.
Unless we fix it in Hadoop code, which makes sense to me as it appears as a warning in any case.
