Issue USERGRID-414: Set Build Version to Java 8
We're significantly behind our in our RX java implementation. Before work on the EM/RM refactor work starts, we should upgrade to Java 8 to clean up our functional syntax, as well as upgrade to the latest RxJava for performance improvements. We should evaluate missing functions we use in RX as Java 8 streams. If we can re-create our operations as Java 8 streams, we should evaluate the performance of RX Java vs Java 8 streams, and pick the most performant solution.
