Hi, After reading this post : [https://github.com/blog/1397-recent-code-search-outages](https://github.com/blog/1397-recent-code-search-outages), I wonder what is the best Java Version for Elasticsearch. What version do you use ? Cheers Romain -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.

Java 6 is no longer supported. You should be using a recent version of Java 7, preferably from Oracle. (I've read reports that ES on openjdk doesn't perform nearly as well as Oracle's Java) clint > What version do you use ? > > Cheers > Romain > > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google > Groups "elasticsearch" group. > To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send > an email to [elasticsearch+unsubscribe@googlegroups.com](mailto:elasticsearch+unsubscribe@googlegroups.com). > For more options, visit [https://groups.google.com/groups/opt\_out](https://groups.google.com/groups/opt_out). -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.
