Hey guys, I've been trying out ES for the past few days and keep running into an issue with the JRE crashing on me while indexing. This first happened while running 1.6.0\_26, so I updated to the most recent version, 1.7.0\_01, which also crashed on me. I'm indexing 4 million docs [which are ~600 bytes each], in batches of 50,000 using the \_bulk endpoint. I'm indexing using the Elastica library for PHP. Towards the end of the indexing process, it crashes [and PH emits a few generic exceptions from Elastica]. I checked the log files and found some stuff in the "elasticsearch- stdout" file, which I have linked below. Any suggestions? Also, I'm very new to Java so if any terminology I used is strange I can clarify 馃檪 Thanks so much! * * * Environment: java version "1.7.0\_01" Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.7.0\_01-b08) Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 21.1-b02, mixed mode) java version "1.6.0\_26" Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0\_26-b03) Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 20.1-b02, mixed mode) ES 0.17.9 running as a service through Commons Daemon Package version 1.0.5.

Hey, Can you only test with 1.6, as there are known problem with 1.7 (though upadte 1 might fix the). Also, can you run without compressed opts? And if it still fails, can you configure the index store to use simplefs (since its windows) and not mmapfs (which is the default on windows). Just set index.store.type to simplefs and see if it crashes.

After we get installed and running for our dev purposes, I plan to see we can be stable at the current 6 update. {This was the most relevant thread we could find for java versions} We certainly should be able to track the Lucene currency I would think. Apache does a very good job of calling delays on updates that are found to be package-affecting. Here is update 29's reference to a called delay by Apache (and they applied it to 7.0.0 also, since 7.0.3 is the current, it may be fixed on that line also. Any suggestions on how to pre-certify later java versions than mentioned here would be appreciated. java 6 rel notes u 29[http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/6u29-relnotes-507960.html](http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/6u29-relnotes-507960.html) JIT and Loop Bugs > Three bugs reported by various parties, including Apache Lucene > developers, have been fixed in JDK 6 Update 29, in addition to a fourth > related bug found by Oracle (7070134, 7068051, 7044738, 7077439).
