Hi all,
the Oracle gc team would like to deprecate the parallel scavenge /
serial old collector combination enabled by using -XX:+UseParallelGC
-XX:-UseParallelOldGC.
This seems to be an extremely rarely used collector combination, as at
last OCW in August with ~100? Java users/devs nobody seemed to know it,
but it still takes some resources away that may be used for other issues.
This is only the *deprecation* effort - there is no change in
functionality except for a "this collector combination is deprecated"2
at this time.
I wrote up a JEP draft at https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8229492 .
Comments and reviewers to move it along appreciated.
Thanks,
Thomas
