Hoss Man commented on SOLR-6387:
--------------------------------

I'm not sure why that issue says it's a regression in 1.8 -- we've seen it 
reproduce plenty of times in java7 jenkins builds.

The blog seems to suggest the problem is specific to the BSD based impls of the 
JRE (ie: FreeBSD & MacOSX) 

I don't know what exactly the effects are of hardcoding 
"jdk.lang.Process.launchMechanism" are on other OSes (or for that matter: which 
of the 2 suggested values make the most sense for hardcoding it too: 
"POSIX_SPAWN" vs "fork"

> Solr (or build system) should hardcode "jdk.lang.Process.launchMechanism" to 
> work arround jdk bug#8047340
