------------------------------------------
Summary: change off-heap memory from compaction to coalesce
Key: GEODE-1017
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GEODE-1017
Project: Geode
Issue Type: Bug
Components: offheap
Reporter: Karen Smoler Miller
Replace references to off-heap space compaction with *coalesce*, because we do
not do any compaction. Our memory management does a coalesce when it needs to
combine adjacent fragments.
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 should be renamed. Better
would be to rework any code that uses compaction where it actually refers to a
coalesce.
