this blog https://engineering.linkedin.com/blog/2016/02/eliminating-large-jvm-gc-pauses-caused-by-background-io-traffic raises the question i my mind - why would logging to gc-log be done during a STW event at all? wouldn't it make sense to defer gc-logging to after the STW event? i suppose writing/flushing to gc-log would allow one to monitor GC progress DURING a STW event but is that worth the risk of being suspended during a STW by IO operations? sorry if this is the wrong channel to ask such questions. .....................ron.
