I just wanted to have a discussion and get some clarification about a problem I am trying to solve. As of now I have followed this documentation in order to update java on my Cloudera Quickstart VM from Java SE 1.7 to Java SE 1.8. My goal from upgrading to this version is to implement spark 2 on my machine.
After I followed the directions I checked what java version is in the system by typing $ java -version in the terminal. The output though was still the default 1.7 version and not the 1.8 version that the Cloudera manger points to. Why is it that this is happening? Will this discrepancy effect performance at all?
Edit: Change phrasing
