Hi All,

   Can someone please help me understand the below snippet of Garbage 
Collection logs?


(a)    What's the importance of values user, sys and real time values?  Should 
I care about those? For instance in the below snippet, 'user' has a value of 
0.79second.

My understanding is,

*        'real' represents the actual time taken by garbage collector process 
to actually free up memory i.e. create object graph, and the whole mark-sweep 
process.

*        'sys' represents the time spent   in System Space (OS/Kernel 
related???)

*        'user' represents the time spent in User space i.e. application.


(b)    I can see "Stopping threads took: 0.0001230 seconds" statement in 
numerous occasions. Even when, GC was not taking place.

*        What does it mean by 'stopping threads took'? Does it mean, garbage 
collector process was trying to 'park' all the threads, without interrupting 
ongoing instructions. So it had to wait for ongoing processing to complete, 
before it could put the thread in 'park' state?

*        Why does JVM stop application threads even when we don't see any Full 
GC events? In my system, full gc event is fired every 60 mins - but I can see 
the above statement numerous times. Why does that happen?

*        When we talk about GC Suspension time, our definition is - "time for 
which application will not process anything. Application kinda hangs". Should 
we consider these "Total time for which application threads were stopped" also 
as Suspension time?

*        Any best practices to reduce the suspension time (apart from GC 
friendly code)?
