----------------------------------------------
async-profiler is what I used in CASSANDRA-17408.
> Prevent JVM Humongous allocations
> ---------------------------------
>
> Key: CASSANDRA-17655
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-17655
> Project: Cassandra
> Issue Type: Bug
> Reporter: Brad Schoening
> Priority: Normal
>
> Several articles on Cassandra note that certain workloads, especially large
> partitions, can cause humongous allocations in Java, which can be reduced,
> but not always eliminated by increasing RegionSize. RegionSize max is 32MB.
> Humongous allocations are an undesirable performance issue because new
> objects get directly allocated in old space.
> Below is a sample message seen in the gc.log
> 2022-05-23T18:46:58.743+0800: 3758624.170: [GC pause (G1 Humongous
> Allocation) (young) (initial-mark) 3758624.171: [G1Ergonomics (CSet
> Construction) start choosing CSet, _pending_cards: 56725, predicted base
> time: 39.83 ms, remaining time: 160.17 ms, target pause time: 200.00 ms]
> Instead of Cassandra users tuning RegionSize manually, a better solution
> would be for Cassandra to limit the size of allocations, or consider moving
> humongous allocations off heap.
