JBoss most latest and stable version - version

I am trying to build a highly available, scalable and performance optimistic Jboss cluster system. I will be using Infinispan subsystem for caching service.
I started off with Jboss 7.1.1 Final version but later on found that it has some really serious bugs. Also, the infinispan subsystem was not behaving as per my requirements in the same.
As of now, I need to evaluate different versions of Jboss which suffices above mentioned requirements.
Please let me know which the most stable and latest version of Jboss currently available.
Just for information, I am performing the whole stuff in Cloud (AWS).

JBoss Application server was renamed to Wildfly, checkout its downloads page. Right now it is stable 9.0.1 (I think this is using Infinispan 7.x) and unstable 10.0.0.Beta2 (I think it still uses 7.x too since Infinispan 8 was not released yet, but it's possible that version 8 will get into the final release).

Data-Migration ElasticSearch 5.6.16 to 7.2.0

how can i perfom full data migration from ElasticSearch 5.6.16 to 7.2.0. I have an application running version 5.6.16. No i have to update some of the data to version 7.2.0. The manufacturer has written / provided an own tool for the migration, but this requires that the new installation (7.2.0) has been installed on a new separate server. But this is the only the last option for me. So what's an easy and good way to do this on the same machine? Or would it be an solution to install the new version (7.2.0) on the same machine with different port and then do my stuff as this would be two servers?
First backup the data and the re-import after installing new version? Did i get problems with the indexes (i read something about this.. that this could result in errors)
You have few questions but I will try to answer two important ones,
How can you run the two different version of elasticsearch on a single machine
Answer : it is possible although not recommended in production environment, as you guess it right, by running these two version on different ports.
How to migrate from ES 5.6 to 7.2
Answer: Elasticsearch provides the backward compatibility till last major version, so if you are upgrading to 7.X, than ES 6.X indices can be backed up and re-imported in ES 7.X but you can't do this for 5.X indices.
Note: Refer upgrade elasticsearch official doc for detailed explanation and process.

Jboss Fuse migration from 6.3 to Fuse 7

I am planning to migrate from Fuse jboss-fuse-6.3.0.redhat-329 to Fuse 7. I am using camel version 2.17.0.redhat-630329. Can anyone please guide me on the steps and issues faced while migrating?
First of all its good that you plan to upgrade from Fuse 6.3 to 7.x.
I recommend to upgrade to the latest Fuse 7.7 release in order to benefit from additional bug fixes, CVE fixes and enhancements.
Your migration to Fuse 7 will upgrade Camel from 2.17 to 2.21.
I suggest you have a read over the Fuse 7.0 migration guide [1], which specifically covers the migration from Fuse 6.3 to 7.
Then you may also want to peak at the migration guide of the specific 7.x release that you are upgrading to, for 7.7 it will be [2].
Please also check for deprecated components...
In terms of Camel, it will depend on the Camel components used if there are any code changes needed or not. For the vast majority of components no changes should be required.
Potentially you only need to recompile your application against the latest Fuse 7 BOM and redeploy the application (in case of Karaf of EAP runtime).
I hope this helps as a starting point.

which is the most stable and tested version of apache solr on hdfs or maprfs

I am trying to setup solr in my project, want to know which is the most stable and tested version of solr available. I want to use mapr filesystem.
Basically, there are two rules for all Solr releases:
They all have a large number of tests to pass before release.
Still, there's some issue with every .0 release, so it's wise to choose the bugfixed .1 even later releases.
Bonus: This applies to every type of file system you want Solr to run on.
Then there is a trade-off between having the latest features and having it around in field use for longer time. Of course, version 3.6 was thoroughly tested in the field, because it's been around for many years. But it's so outdated you should not choose it. The same applies for the 4.x branch.
On the other end, there's the 6.x branch which has many cool new features but is relatively young. So personally, I recommend you to go with the latest release of the 5.x branch. While the 5.0 release had many new features introduced, the work up to the latest released version 5.5.4 had many fixes applied and still gets backports for things that are fixed in the 6.x branch.

SOLR 5 Install in a Production Environment

I am a bit confused about installing SOLR 5.5. The 5.5 manual says it is not recommended to deploy solr war on any other web/application servlet containers. It says deploy solr as a stand alone server. What does this mean? SOLR running on port 8983 is not running out of jetty? SOLR itself is a web server? How stable will it be in a prod environment?
I followed all the instructions on https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/solr/Installing+Solr
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/solr/Taking+Solr+to+Production
Appreciate if someone can share their experience.
It's using Jetty, but it might not in the future (as there are quite a few things that gets easier to implement when you don't have to consider the webapp framework around your service). That's why 5.0 dropped explicit support for running in an existing container (it can still be done - but you're on your own, and features may break). At least now the environment for the application can be assumed to be a certain container and have a specific feature set.

Jboss Fuse 6.1.0 upgrade camel feature version

I have been working with Jboss Fuse 6.1.0.redhat-379 for about a month with great results and higher productivity in EIP. Thank you very much to the community for building such a great product.
Now I am getting ready to deploy my bundles in a dev enviroment with several camel routes and even multiple camel contexts in a single bundle and I'm noticing a weird behavior regarding camel contexts JMX display. The bundle with the multiple camel contexts is only showing the first context, others contexts work fine but they are missing in camel JMX display in hawtio.
After research about this behavior I encountered with this JIRA issue https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CAMEL-7545 opened by Claus, describing exactly this problem and manifesting that there are Fix Versions (2.12.4, 2.13.2, 2.14.0)
AFAIK my Jboss Fuse version is distributed with camel 2.12.0.redhat-610379 version and there is a mayor 2.14.0.redhat-620031 version that supposedly will fix this issue and it will be bring many other features like json path and sql generated keys.
Is there a way to upgrade versions of camel features in Jboss Fuse?
UPDATE
There is a similar question for this topic (Updating camel version in fuse esb) accepted answer discourages trying to update the version, however, I think it should be better to permit version upgrades if they fix issues
Not a 100% on this but the rollup patches might include the 2.12 fixed versions. Install the latest patch and see if that fixes the issue.
