When CDS is enabled, the CompressedKlassSpacePool actually contains more than Klass objects. It can contain other metadata such as Method, ConstantPool, etc. So calling these pools "class" and "non-class" is not 100% correct. Is there any reason for separating the CompressedKlassSpacePool from other metadata? I know in the past it was possible to run out of spaces in CompressedKlassSpace, so there might be a reason to monitor it separately? ------------- PR: https://git.openjdk.java.net/jdk/pull/8831
