Log Context
Log “thread wait/blocked time accounting is not supported on this JDK” class name is HotThreads.java. We extracted the following from Elasticsearch source code for those seeking an in-depth context :

// able to enable this functionality during bootstrap; we should not produce HotThreads reports.
if (isThreadWaitBlockTimeMonitoringEnabled(threadBean) == false) {
throw new ElasticsearchException("thread wait/blocked time accounting is not supported on this JDK");
} StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder().append("Hot threads at ")
