We love the performance improvements, but most of our upgrades are because of CVEs that aren’t backported. We need to upgrade Thing X to the next major version and that version requires a more recent Java.
Java versions for Solr are managed separately from the massive Java codebase, but we’d probably bump everything around the same time. We would absolutely upgrade for a substantial performance improvement because of the number of nodes we run. Reduction in cost and better response time would make it worth it. wunder Walter Underwood wun...@wunderwood.org http://observer.wunderwood.org/ (my blog) > On Nov 6, 2023, at 8:47 AM, Dawid Weiss <dawid.we...@gmail.com> wrote: > > >> It's not just you - we have an internal JDK11 fork at BIG COMPANY for some >> folks that can't get off the stick. > > The truth is - most large companies will be reluctant to upgrade unless they > see a benefit in doing so.
