G1 GC Humongous Objects - Garbage collection

[Gopal, Prasanna CWK]

Hi All

I have the following question about Garbage collection of  Humongous objects.


1)     When will the humongous objects will get reclaimed ?

2)     Is there is any behaviour difference between Jdk 7 and Jdk 8 run time ?

3)     I understand, in pre-jdk 8 G1 GC , the humongous objects gets collected only through Full GC. In my application , I couldn’t see Full GC happening for long time (running on jdk_7u40_x64) , does this means the humongous objects stay in memory , till we have a full GC ?

Appreciate your   help in answering these questions.

Thanks and Regards
Prasanna
