Elastic Stack Elasticsearch

Hi, i'm using elasticsearch 6.5.4 (community edition) on Debian.
Whenever I start it up, it runs for 5/10 seconds and then immediately fails.
My cluster have 2 nodes and basic configuration, one normally runs one goes wrong.
This is the cluster log:

Hi Silvio,

I suspect something environmental. The REIWA Japanese era was added in between JDKs 1.8.0_144 and 1.8.0_212, but your installation seems confused about whether this era exists or not. How did you install Elasticsearch and your JDK? Can you try a clean installation, ideally from official packages rather than anything repackaged by Debian?

I have tried running Elasticsearch 6.5.4 with JDK 1.8.0_212 (specifically Oracle Corporation/Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM/1.8.0_212/25.212-b10) and do not get this error.

From your advice i have installed openjdk, the latest version.

openjdk version "1.8.0_212" OpenJDK Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_212-8u212-b03-0ubuntu1.16.04.1-b03) OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.212-b03, mixed mode)

Now the the node go up without errors and without reinstall elastic, that I had already installed with apt-get and Debian package.
Thanks a lot
