------------------------------------
we cannot replace the old value with the new one because there is no
way to atomically do that.

> 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.
