Wei Deng commented on CASSANDRA-8150:
-------------------------------------

Since we're proposing to run with a much larger Eden space and 
-XX:+CMSScavengeBeforeRemark, we might want to watch out if there are frequent 
occurrences of "GCLocker Initiated GC" in the gc.log. According to this 
discussion: 
http://mail.openjdk.java.net/pipermail/hotspot-gc-dev/2014-September/010650.html,
 there is a possibility for Scavenge to collide with GCLocker and makes Remark 
to go longer than expected, and "GCLocker Initiated GC" can happen 
unnecessarily due to this outstanding JDK bug 
https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8048556.

> It's been found that the old twitter recommendations of 100m per core up to 
> 800m is harmful and should no longer be used.
> Instead the formula used should be 1/3 or 1/4 max heap with a max of 2G. 1/3 
> or 1/4 is debatable and I'm open to suggestions. If I were to hazard a guess 
> 1/3 is probably better for releases greater than 2.1.
