Faster indexing
● Reindexing Jira takes much less time
Reindex duration is 71% faster (in our tests, a 3h reindex dropped to 53
minutes.) This means less time spent on reindexing after major
configuration changes, and quicker upgrades.
● Jira indexes are smaller, and easier to maintain
Index size has shrunk by 48% (in our tests, the index size dropped from
19GB to 9.9GB.) This means a faster, more stable Jira that is easier to
maintain and troubleshoot.

Change to bundled Java vendor
From Confluence 6.14.1 onwards we bundle the AdoptOpenJDK JRE
rather than the Oracle JRE. This change will only impact people who run
Confluence using the bundled JRE (which is available when you install
using the installer).
Both Oracle and AdoptOpenJDK are supported, so if you would prefer to
use the Oracle JRE, see Change the Java vendor or version Confluence
uses.
