hi, We were running an application in java 7 with lot of reflection and custom class loader. The perm gen normally reaches a high threshold and stabilizes. But once we moved to 1.8.0_40 64 bit recently, the metaspace keeps growing. After using gc class_stat we found that the number of classes loaded are constant. But the MethodData per class keeps growing in 20MBs. Could you please advise why the method data is growing and if there is a way to debug it more and find out what is causing it?
