JEP 248: Make G1 the Default Garbage Collector

[Yu Zhang]

sorry if this is a duplicate message. I had some problems sending it 
earlier.

The correlation between young gc pause and occupancy in tenure, might be 
related to Remember Set operations. Do you see ScanRS/UpdateRS goes up 
with the tenure occupancy is high?

If the occupancy of a region in old gen is higher than 
G1MixedLiveThresholdPercent(default 65 before 8u40, 85 8u40 and later), 
then it is not considered as a candidate for cset.

Thanks,
Jenny
