Hi, I'm working on the Debian package for HBase. On Debian, the default JVM is OpenJDK, since it's free and the SUN JVM isn't much loved by the debian-java team. Now when running HBase on OpenJDK 1.6.0_18 the master frontend shows the warning: "Your current JVM version 1.6.0_18 is known to be unstable with HBase. Please see the HBase wiki for details."
Has anybody already made experiences with running Hadoop/HBase on OpenJDK? Does the above warning also apply for this JVM? For a broader addoption of Hadoop/HBase I'd recommend to do also testing on OpenJDK since I wouldn't be sure if the proprietary SUN JVM will remain much longer in Debian. (Don't know about Red Hat.)
