Todd Lipcon commented on HBASE-3455: ------------------------------------ Hi Tatsuya. Thanks for the comments. We were actually discussing this the other day and this morning in IRC and came to similar conclusions. I'll try to write up a summary of the various solutions and some experiments we can try. I'm also experimenting again with G1GC - finally got a build environment for JDK7 so I can add some printfs and understand why it hasn't worked well for us yet. > Heap fragmentation in region server > ----------------------------------- > > Key: HBASE-3455 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-3455 > Project: HBase > Issue Type: Brainstorming > Components: performance, regionserver > Reporter: Todd Lipcon > Priority: Critical > Attachments: HBasefragmentation.pdf, parse-fls-statistics.py > > > Stop-the-world GC pauses have long been a problem in HBase.
