Elasticsearch does not allow OpenJDK Early access build to start with. Is there a way to bypass this check? ---

You can create a custom build that has this check disabled/removed - I do not see another possibility after a quick check. ---

Thanks Alex. Bit tedious task. Can this be taken as a request to have additional configuration for allowing OpenJDK EA build. This will give more flexibility to users and can be easily manageable. ---

This bootstrap check has been added intentionally and thus it is unlikely to be removed, feel free to open a github issue and start a discussion. First, can you explain why you want to run an early access build in production instead of the openjdk that is shipped with Elasticsearch? Second, if you do not bind to an external interface and thus run a one-node cluster, the bootstrap checks are omitted. Would that work for you? You could still bind the http address to an external one, and leave the transport address at localhost. ---

Thanks again Alex for your reply. I'll open a github issue and give justification. Btw, meanwhile I added following in elasticsearch.yml, but still unable to start Elasticsearch. network.host: 127.0.0.1 discovery.type: single-node Am I missing anything here? ---

Looks like Bootstrap checks are skipped, but got Access Denied. Looks like java.policy needs change.

That looks like a [known JDK issue](https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8236582). Apparently it's [fixed](https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch/issues/50512#issuecomment-575693902) in build 32 so maybe you need to update? Such is life when running EA builds - you're a long way from the recommended path on this one. ---

Agreed David! With **openjdk version "14" 2020-03-17 OpenJDK Runtime Environment (build 14+36-1461)**, ES started working magically. Although Build 36 is not an EA build, but I managed ES to skip bootstrap checks. Thanks to both of you for your help. ---
