Hi, I heard before that jre 7u40 to 7u45 were not recommended to use with Elasticsearch. I used jre-7u25 with Elasticsearch 0.90.x We are now using Beta2 version, and i noticed that latest java update is jre-7u51, would it be ok to use it with Elasticsearch 1.0.0.Beta2?

The issues that plague 7u40 and 7u45 are related to Lucene and not directly to Elasticsearch. Lucene is being continually being built with Java 7u51 and 7u60 and I do not think any major issues have been found yet. There are several Lucene committers on this list, so maybe they will chime in (I only read the Lucene user mailing list, not the developer one). -- Ivan On Sun, Feb 9, 2014 at 8:33 PM, Ia Soudina [ia.soudina@gmail.com](mailto:ia.soudina@gmail.com) wrote: > Hi, > > I heard before that jre 7u40 to 7u45 were not recommended to use with > Elasticsearch.

My understanding was that the scope of the JFK/Guava bug was limited and did not affect Lucene/Solr.

BTW, I cannot believe 7u51 did not fix the previous Lucene bug since it has been known for a while. So frustrating.

If you are tired of Java 7, use Java 8 😉 [https://twitter.com/thetaph1/status/410494532816760832](https://twitter.com/thetaph1/status/410494532816760832) Oracle Java 8 FCS is already out. GA version will be ready in March. But I know of issues with Java 8 and MVEL, so if you use MVEL scripts, be aware...
