Immediately after this another concurrent cycle kicks in

It will be helpful for us to understand,
1) Why If Full GC can clean up nearly 4 GB (:
6557.1M(7168.0M)->2515.3M(7168.0M)]) , why didn’t the mixed GC kicked in
earlier ?. Does this mean all our old regions are tightly packed (greater than
G1MixedGCLiveThresholdPercent=85 ) ?
2) We also see , high amount of Humongous object allocation. Could it be the
case that Only Full GC’s can remove the Humongous objects ?
3) Is there any other tuning parameters we can use to mitigate this
scenario ?
Please do let me know, if you need any more information. Thanks in advance for
your help.
