Otis Gospodnetic commented on HBASE-3455:
-----------------------------------------
In plain English, what's the end effect of this change? Elimination or
minimalization of stop zee world GC pauses? Or maybe (also) lower memory
consumption? Or...? Thanks.
> Heap fragmentation in region server

> Stop-the-world GC pauses have long been a problem in HBase. "Concurrent mode
> failures" can usually be tuned around by setting the initiating occupancy
> fraction low, but eventually the heap becomes fragmented and a promotion
> failure occurs.
> This JIRA is to do research/experiments about the heap fragmentation issue
> and possible solutions.
