I realize that a java 8 runtime environment is required for Solr 6.x. Is it also necessary to compile to java 8 for any custom plugins running on the solr server? What about including SolrJ libraries in client code that is still compiling to 1.7?
SolrJ contains lambda expressions, which only work in Java 8. Even if it didn't have any specific Java 8 code, the Solr build system targets 1.8 explicitly, so the client jar won't run in Java 7.
