Hi all I am using elasticsearch 1.4.1 to index logs. I run it on a 12 GB RAM with 8 cores. I dedicate 6 GB to the heap. I am using oracle JVM 1.8.0\_25. ES starts crashing after it reaches 8 Million records. attaches is the error log \hs\_err\_pid26939.log\ ---

Hi, this looks like a compiler bug. if you can actually reproduce it, you can report it to [http://bugs.java.com/](http://bugs.java.com/) Otherwise, as far as working around it, you can try an EA release of a newer jvm ([https://jdk8.java.net/download.html](https://jdk8.java.net/download.html)), or exclude the method in question from compilation with an -XX:CompileCommand. unfortunately the method in question is the "main indexing loop" of lucene, so there is likely some performance impact from doing this.
