Hi, I've been using Java 7 for a few years and am now evaluating Java 8 and some other new bits for my DSpace infrastructure stack, and I was pleased to find news that Java 8 is recommended for Solr 4.x and 5.x. Read more on this Solr developer's page on the Solr wiki:
https://wiki.apache.org/solr/ShawnHeisey On a related note, Java 7 introduced a new garbage collector called G1GC and everyone in the Java community was excited because it was more performant, had shorter pauses, etc. Initially I was using it with DSpace, but I came across this very stern warning on the Lucene wiki stating "Do not, under any circumstances, run Lucene with the G1 garbage collector", so I switched back to CMS. The warning still stands, you can read about it here (for what it's worth, Shawn's page above says he uses G1GC with Solr): https://wiki.apache.org/lucene-java/JavaBugs Anyways, I just wanted to pass on the word about these developments so people can discuss here, share their experiences, and update their stacks.
