----------------------------------
> change off-heap memory from compaction to defragmentation
> ---------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: GEODE-1017
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GEODE-1017
> Project: Geode
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: offheap
> Reporter: Karen Smoler Miller
> Assignee: Sai Boorlagadda
>
> Replace references to off-heap space compaction with *defragmentation*, to
> better convey the intent behind the operation.
> https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Memory_Management/Memory_Compacting defines
> compaction: ". . .the process of moving allocated objects together, and
> leaving empty space together." We do not move allocated chunks, so implying
> we do is misleading.
> At the very least, all outward facing statistics and any other UI should be
> renamed to refer to defragmentation and defragment instead of compaction and
> compact.
