I would upgrade to Java 7 on my secondary index servers first. My SolrJ build program is normally colocated on one of the primary index servers, though corosync/pacemaker can move it in the event of a machine failure. Here's a more targeted question: In simple terms, this means that for a testing period of several weeks, my SolrJ application will be running a different Java version than one of my indexes, and the same version as the other index. The Java 7 announcement on the Solr page says that there are unicode changes when upgrading to Java 7. Will those changes cause problems with SolrJ on one java version and the index on another? Thanks, Shawn

Any gotchas, recommendations, or should I just go for it without changing anything? Java6 goes EOL in November, after which public (free) support and bugfixes go away. By then running Solr with Java 7 will be important to the entire community, not just me. Thanks, Shawn
