Dear dspace-tech, As I wait eleven seconds (!) for my `dspace index-discovery -h` command to complete, I saw this blog post¹ about newer Java versions last week and found it compelling:
> Recent comparisons show that, since Java 8, the application startup time has already almost halved (compared to the early builds of Java 16), consistently progressing towards better performance. Not to mention the improvements in garbage collection and of course new language features. So I ask: what is the highest version of Java that DSpace 6 and 7 officially supported? I recall seeing people running with Java 9 at least... Also, on a related note, is anyone using the G1GC garbage collection introduced in Java 8? It was lore² for the longest time that you should not use G1GC with Solr, but it has been a few years since I checked.
