Jonathan Gray commented on HBASE-3455:
--------------------------------------

+1 on keeping exotic config out of hbase-default though i'm not sure just the 
turning on/off of this is that exotic.  Definitely need some 
documentation/explanation somewhere tho.

> 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.
