When I start logstash 2.2.2, it fails to run. The error message from the log file is  
`The signal INT is in use by the JVM and will not work correctly on this platform.`

Logstash Version:

> $ /opt/logstash/bin/logstash version  
> logstash 2.2.2

IBM JVM Version:

> java version "1.8.0"  
> Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build pxa6480sr2fp10-20160108\_01(SR2 FP10))  
> IBM J9 VM (build 2.8, JRE 1.8.0 Linux amd64-64 Compressed References 20160106\_284759 (JIT enabled, AOT enabled)  
> J9VM - R28\_20160106\_1341\_B284759

Does anyone know if Logstash will work on IBM JVM?

Nope, we do not currently support this JVM.
