I have not used G1 in JDK 8 that much but the two trouble spots to me are:

-XX:InitiatingHeapOccupancyPercent=75
-XX:MaxTenuringThreshold=2

So this will tenure very quickly, filling up old gen and start the marking relatively late at 75%. This looks like it is pretty likely to end up in a STW full GC. Since you do have a huge amount of garbage getting collected in the full gc maybe try letting more of it die off in young gen with higher tenuring threshold and also start marking earlier than 75%.

good luck,
Eric

Hi guys,

Hoping someone could shed some light on G1 behavior (as seen from the gc
log) that I'm having a hard time understanding.  The root problem is G1
enters a Full GC that takes many tens of seconds, and need some advice
on what could be causing it.

First issue I have a question about:

So here we have a lengthy full GC pause that collects quite a bit of old
gen (expected).  Right before this is a young evac pause.

Why is the heap sizing (bolded) reported after the evac pause showing
empty Eden+Survivor?

Why is ergonomic info reporting 0 regions selected (i.e. what's
evacuated then)?

Right before the Full GC, ergonomics report a failure to expand the heap
due to an allocation request of 32 bytes.  Is this implying that a
mutator tried to allocate 32 bytes but couldn't? How do I reconcile that
with Eden+Survivor occupancy reported right above that?

Young gen is sized to 30GB, total heap is 96GB.  Allocation rate of the
application is roughly 1GB/s.  Am I correct in assuming that allocation
is outpacing concurrent marking, based on the above? What tunable(s)
would you advise to tweak to get G1 to keep up with the allocation rate?
I'm ok taking some throughput hit to mitigate 90s+ pauses.

Let me know if any additional info is needed (I have the full GC log,
and can attach that if desired).

Thanks
