Hello,

I am trying to get the performance counters (cache reference, cache
misses) using the counting mode for hadoop which is running on a
physical machine. The various processes of hadoop is contained inside
a cgroup. I am trying to get information using the following script

perf stat -B -a -e cache-references,cache-misses  -G cgroup_hadoop sleep 1

But, I am getting cache misses to be  197.478 (percent) of all cache refs

My question is how can I have cache-misses which is greater than the
cache-reference? I have multiple occurrences where the cache-misses is
more that the cache reference. Is there something wrong with the way I
am measuring the performance counters.

Regards,
Vivek Nair
