Nitsan Wakart created CASSANDRA-10196:
-----------------------------------------
Summary: Documentation does not list Zing/Zulu as compatible JVMs
Key: CASSANDRA-10196
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-10196
Project: Cassandra
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Documentation & website
Reporter: Nitsan Wakart
Priority: Critical
On the http://wiki.apache.org/cassandra/GettingStarted page the following is
mentioned under pre-requisites:
"Cassandra requires the most stable version of Java 7 or 8 you can deploy,
preferably the Oracle/Sun JVM. Cassandra also runs on OpenJDK and the IBM JVM.
(It will NOT run on JRockit, which is only compatible with Java 6.)"
I work for Azul, the Zing and Zulu JVMs vendor, and was surprised not to find
them mentioned given the many clients we have who deploy Cassandra. It seems
strange that an Open Source project would state such preference to a commercial
vendor.
I would think that a more neutral statement would be suitable to the effect
that: "Cassandra requires a Java 7/8 compatible JVM and known to work with the
following JVMs (A,B,C etc)."
It also seems fair to mention the range of JVMs under which releases are
officially tested/certified (is there a release certification suite or
something similar?).
