-XX:-CMSClassUnloadingEnabled

[Tony Printezis]

Thanks for the heads up Jungwoo. I think it should be straightforward to decide whether to unload classes for a particular CMS cycle based on the rate at which the meatspace occupancy is growing. Has anyone considered / looked into this?

We've been disabled CMSClassUnloading for a long time and had no issues.
We recently turned it back on by default with CMSClassUnloadingMaxInterval=5, which amortizes the increased remark cost.

Hi all,

CMSClassUnloadingEnabled is enabled by default in JDK 8. Most of our services do not require class unloading (they load a bunch of classes up-front and that’s it) so we’re thinking of turning it off by default in our JDK as it increases our remark times by a non-trivial amount (40-90ms depending on the service). Any known issues with running with -XX:-CMSClassUnloadingEnabled? (This is a veiled way to ask: is anyone testing with that flag off?)

Thanks,

Tony
