ryan rawson commented on HBASE-3455:
------------------------------------
for ICVs, we might be force flushing due to the maximum hlog fairly
'frequently' anyways. if we spill to the next slab, will we let the
GC free up the previous slabs? maybe once we fill up an allocation we
dereference the slab from the slab manager that way we can let GC do
the hard work for us?

> 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.
