Java Versions and Available Features

The Java version installed on the Data Collector machine determines the Data Collector features that you can use.

All supported Java versions provide almost all Data Collector features. However due to third-party requirements, some features require a particular Java version. For example, HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric 7.0.x requires Java JDK 11 or higher, so you must use Java 11 or 17 to work with MapR stages that connect to HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric 7.0.x.

The following table describes the features available with different Java versions:
