> HBase wants to have large heaps - store lots of cached objects to make things 
> faster in RAM.
> But Java garbage collection wants to touch every object in heap.
> How does this work at 3gb heaps?  6gb heaps?  The more ram we can use in 
> HBase the better performance we can get.  If java GC holds us back, we might 
> need to do something else.
