Hi David, Mandy, and Bob,

Thank you for reviewing this fix.

Please review a new version of the fix [1] that includes the following changes 
comparing to the previous version of the webrev ( webrev.04)
1. The changes in Javadoc made in the webrev.04 comparing to webrev.03 and to 
CSR [3] were discarded.
2.  The implementation of methods getFreeMemorySize, getTotalMemorySize, 
getFreeSwapSpaceSize and getTotalSwapSpaceSize
     was also reverted to webrev.03 version that return host's values if the 
metrics are unavailable or cannot be properly read.
     I would like to mention that  currently the native implementation of these 
methods de-facto may return -1 at some circumstances,
     but I agree that the changes proposed in the previous version of the 
webrev increase such probability.
     I filed the follow-up issue [4] as Mandy suggested.
3.  The legacy methods were renamed as David suggested.

Yes, currently the code fails to do the initialization but it was unnoticed 
since method 
get_cpuload_internal(...) was never called for a specific CPU, the first 
parameter "which"
was always -1.

As I tried explain it earlier it would make the tests unstable.
System.out.printf(...) just delegates the call to System.out.format(...) that 
doesn't emit the string atomically.
Instead it parses the format string into a list of FormatString objects and 
then iterates over the list.
As a result, the other traces occasionally got printed between these iterations 
 and break the pattern the test is expected to find
in the output.

For example, here is the sample of a such output that has the trace message 
printed between " OperatingSystemMXBean.getFreePhysicalMemorySize:"
and "1030762496".

we have previously discussed. These methods previously were (per the spec) 
guaranteed to return some (assumably) meaningful value but now they are 
effectively allowed to fail by returning -1. No existing code is expecting to 
have to handle a return of -1 so I see this as a significant compatibility 
issue.
    
    I thought that the error case we are referring to is limit == 0 which 
    indicates something unexpected goes wrong.  So the compatibility concern 
    should be low.  This is very specific to Metrics implementation for 
    cgroup v1 and let me know if I'm wrong.

    It's important to consider carefully if the monitoring API indicates an 
    error vs unavailable and an application should continue to run when the 
    monitoring system fails to get the metrics.
    
    There are several choices to report "something goes wrong" scenarios 
    (should unlikely happen???):
    1. fall back to a random positive value  (e.g. host value)
    2. return a negative value
    3. throw an exception
    
    #3 is not an option as the application is not expecting this.  For #2, 
    the application can filter bad values if desirable.
    
    I'm okay if you want to file a JBS issue to follow up and thoroughly 
    look at the cases that the metrics are unavailable and the cases when 
    fails to obtain.

    or simply (as I commented [1])
         System.out.format
