   I'm installing Cassandra Community edition for the first time, and I've noticed that it is recommended to use Sun JDK. Is there a particular reason why Sun JVM is preferable over OpenJDK?

   Thanks,
   Shahar

   Cassandra pushes the JVM pretty hard, so even minor differences become important. In our experience, OpenJDK is buggy under pressure, leading to poor performance and even segfaults.
