Bisheng JDK 8 Installation Guide and Feature Overview

Bisheng JDK is Huawei's internally customized OpenJDK distribution, open‑sourced as Huawei JDK, offering high performance and production‑ready capabilities, especially optimized for ARM architecture and big‑data workloads, compatible with Java SE 8 and currently supporting Linux/AArch64 platforms.

Supported Features

The current 8u262 version includes Java Flight Recorder (JFR), which is disabled by default; enable it at runtime with the command java -XX:+FlightRecorder . Additionally, fast serialization optimizations are available via JVM options:

-XX:+UnlockExperimentalVMOptions

-XX:+UseFastSerializer -DfastSerializerEscapeMode=true

Note that fast serialization may not be compatible with all scenarios; the -DfastSerializerEscapeMode=true flag ensures fallback to native serialization when needed.
