concurrent mode failure in minor gc/ -XX:CMSFullGCsBeforeCompaction=1

[Y.S.Ramakrishna at Sun.COM]

What Jon said re contacting Sun support etc.

One important thing we have learned about CMS is
that the filtering of short-lived objects in the young gen is
important both for relieving short-term pressure on the CMS collector
and in the long-term for reducing fragmentation of the old
gen, either or both of which might otherwise cause concurrent mode failure.

I have never myself found CMSFullGCsBeforeCompaction != 0 to be particularly useful
as a tuning knob.

regards.
