             Summary: Bump minimum required Java version to 17
                 Key: LUCENE-10283
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-10283
             Project: Lucene - Core
          Issue Type: Task
            Reporter: Adrien Grand


This is a follow-up of the discussion we had on 
https://lists.apache.org/thread/zllbhw25sjvh3d4z4jt3x34qkyvdl2d1.

There's been discussions of whether we'd actually get more benefits than 
downsides from moving to Java 17 but it looked to me like the idea of bumping 
the minimum required Java version to 17 got traction in the end.

Some benefits that Robert mentioned in this thread:
 - Absolute bulk get methods on ByteBuffers.
 - New PRNGs.
 - JFR runtime streaming API.
 - Unix sockets for live stats?
 - Bumped unicode version.
 - HexFormat.
