Hi,
Please review this request to backport the JDK8 fix for 8009928 to
jdk7u-dev. The fix improves performance for Fusion Apps and other
products by increasing the default StringTable size on 64 bit platforms
to 60013.
The JDK8 bug is http://bugs.sun.com/view_bug.do?bug_id=8009928
The fix was approved for JDK 8. See
http://hg.openjdk.java.net/hsx/hotspot-rt/hotspot/rev/63e31ce40bdb
The backport is simpler than the fix for JDK 8. The coding changes for
the backport are at http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~hseigel/bug_8009928_7u/
<http://cr.openjdk.java.net/%7Ehseigel/bug_8009928_7u/>
The change was tested with the JCK lang and vm tests and by hand, using
the -XX:+PrintStringTableStatistics flag to verify that the correct
default StringTable sizes were being used for both 32 and 64 bit platforms.
Thank you, Harold
