Hi all,
I know that JRE 1.7.0\_55 is the 'recommended' jre for ES
1.2+:[http://www.elasticsearch.org/blog/java-1-7u55-safe-use-elasticsearch-lucene/](http://www.elasticsearch.org/blog/java-1-7u55-safe-use-elasticsearch-lucene/)
There seems to have been some posts regarding Java 8/MVEL issues
(e.g. [http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MVEL-299](http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MVEL-299)) but is the current JRE 8
(11) ok for production ES usage?
Didn't spot anything on the lucene side of things so i guess more of an ES
compilation/test question.

Thanks,
Derry

You can use Java 8u5
Do not use Java 8u11 with Groovy or Guava, there is a bug

Hi Jorg,
Thanks for the fast response. Looks like it affects jre7U65 so i guess the
safe options are:
1.7.0 (55/60) or 1.8.0 (5)
