Which version of java is preferrable to install on a Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7?
As for the subject, which version of java is preferrable to install to run
Solr 5.3.1 on RHEL 7?
I remember in old doc (https://wiki.apache.org/solr/SolrInstall) that for
full international charset support there is the need to install full IDK, it
is still true or is preferable to install standard JRE as for the official
documentation
(https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/solr/Installing+Solr )
Thanks.

Thanks a lot, Oracle Java 8 and is the version that I usually use, and I install a standard JRE.
Thanks again.

The full JDK is not required, the JRE is sufficient.
The java version I would personally recommend the most is the latest version of Oracle Java 8. Next would be the latest version of OpenJDK 8, followed by the latest version of Oracle Java 7, then the latest OpenJDK 7. I am pretty sure that you can easily install openjdk8 with yum on RHEL7, without adding any extra yum repositories or downloading anything from Oracle.
Whatever major Java version you choose, you should obtain the latest update version. IBM Java should be avoided, because there are known bugs running under that implementation.
I'm not sure there is an actual official recommendation, but the
*minimum* requirement would be Java 7 Update 1.
Thanks,
Shawn
