In setup guide, I read "Only Oracle’s Java and the OpenJDK are supported. The same JVM version should be used on all Elasticsearch nodes and clients. We recommend installing the _Java 8 update 20 or later_, or _Java 7 update 55 or later_. Previous versions of Java 7 are known to have bugs that can cause index corruption and data loss." We need to use IBM JVM due to company policy. Could you please tell me why IBM JVM is not in your supported list? What symptoms are they when index corruption and data loss happened? Any log trace to indicate that? Thanks, Cindy -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.

I did read the page before. However, the section didn't mentioned any details of the issue, not trace either. I was hoping some one has experienced issues. Is just randomly happening or under certain conditions to trigger index corruption?

There are known big installations using OpenJDK and Oracle JDK. I don't know any using IBM. I imagine your more likely to find something on that JDK then others but you'll probably do ok. Certainly be sure to add the config parameter mentioned on that page and expect to have to fiddle with the init script some.
