I want to use logstash-input-jdbc in my logstash application on the windows. My jdk version is 1.8 , logstash version is 2.1 and use sqljdbc4.jar(version 4.2 or version 6.0).Logstash config :

input {  
tcp  
{  
codec =\> "json"  
type =\> "iis"  
port =\> 5545  
}  
jdbc {  
jdbc\_driver\_library =\> "C:\ELK\logstash\bin\sqljdbc42.jar"  
jdbc\_driver\_class =\> "com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerDriver"  
jdbc\_connection\_string =\> "jdbc:sqlserver://localhost:1433/databasename=TuHUProduct"  
jdbc\_user =\> "sa"  
jdbc\_password=\> "123456"  
schedule =\> "\* \* \* \* \*"  
statement =\> "select \* product"  
}  
}  
output {  
stdout{}  
elasticsearch {  
hosts =\> "127.0.0.1:9200"  
}  
}

When i start logstash with this config appear a exception:  
This driver application don't support Java Runtime Environment (JRE) 1.8.Please use support for JDBC 4.0 sqljdbc4.jar .  
My sqljdbc.jar is the lastest version (version 4.2 or version 6.0), i don't konw why this exception.  
Please help, thanks.
