Hey guys, thought members of this list might be interested in this interview I did with the github elasticsearch team. It's an in-depth look at their elasticsearch infrastructure, covering many of the details of their setup.

IMO sun jvm is still recommended for Lucene.

Hi, This is correct. I highly recommend watching Uwe Schindler's talk at Berlin Buzzwords called "Testing Lucene and Solr with various JVMs: bugs, bugs, bugs" where he explains some bugs you may encounter depending on the JVM you are using and gives a final recommendation about JVMs that may be used with Lucene.
