-------------------------------------
Can we get this merged into 8.10, assuming that's happening? [~epugh]

> As pointed out on the mailing list, OpenJ9 changed their handling of -Xlog
> options in OpenJ9 0.24.0 (January 2021), so that's presumably the first
> version of OpenJ9 affected by this issue.
> The {{-Xlog:gc:<filename>}} syntax is replaced with
> {{-Xverbosegclog:<updated_filename>}} according to
> [https://www.eclipse.org/openj9/docs/xlog/]
> While the bin/solr.cmd has logic for setting {{-Xverbosegclog}} when using
> OpenJ9 ("IBM J9"), that isn't hit because of this conditional block that was
> added in 2017
> [https://github.com/apache/solr/commit/86f7d6779a8fee56e4497fde7d8936e916b00814#diff-118de7ae5d9fc032e479321cb4d3ee62ceb68e9f3c845292b44c5e14c0f769cfR1116]
> which means that all versions >= 9 get the same
> "GC_LOG_OPTS="-Xlog:gc*:file".
> [~uschindler]'s comment at the time was that ??Java 9 is detected before IBM
> J9. Because IBM J9 for Java 9 will handle the command line options like
> Oracle?? which seems like it was true until OpenJ9 0.24.0, but no longer
> holds for newer versions.
> I don't know how many people would be using earlier releases of OpenJ9 on
> Windows, but I checked jdk-9.0.4+12_openj9-0.9.0 (August 2018) and
> jdk-11.0.8+10_openj9-0.21.0 (July 2020) and they both started correctly with
> GC logging using the IBM J9 java options already in the solr.cmd file. So
> those options seem to work for OpenJ9 in general. Therefore Lisa's suggestion
> of changing the version check to
> {code:java}
> if !JAVA_MAJOR_VERSION! GEQ 9 if NOT "%JAVA_VENDOR%" == "IBM J9" (
> {code}
> works and would also allow GC_LOG_OPTS to be set in solr.in.cmd for OpenJ9
> users.
> Otherwise to use the GC_LOG_OPTS hardcoded in the Java 9+ branch of the
> solr.cmd, the {{-XX:+LegacyXlogOption}} could be used to revert -Xlog in
> OpenJ9 to its previous behaviour, allowing it to parse {{-Xlog:gc}}.
> On Linux the bin/solr --the error appears in the solr console log rather than
> the console itself and but the GC log is still created correctly - which is
> strange.
> {noformat}
> JVMJ9VM007W Command-line option unrecognised:
> -Xlog:gc*:file=/solr/server/logs/8983/solr_gc.log:time,uptime:filecount=9,filesize=20M{noformat}
> I've made a similar change to it to make it use -Xverbosegclog on OpenJ9 too.
