JDK11 + ZGC JVM Crash

[Charlie Hunt]

Hi Roy,

Thanks for the feedback on running ZGC in JDK 11.

Just to remind you that ZGC is an experimental feature in JDK 11.

ZGC became non-experimental in JDK 15.

What this means is ... if you are experiencing an issue with ZGC in JDK 11 thru JDK 14 where ZGC was an experimental feature, the appropriate resolution would be to migrate to one of; [ideally] the most recent JDK 15 update release, or [ideally] the most recent JDK 16 update release.

There were a very large number of improvements in ZGC between JDK 11 ZGC and JDK 15 ZGC, and likewise JDK 16.

If you experience an issue with ZGC in either JDK 15 or JDK 16, please let us know.

thanks,

Charlie Hunt

Subject: JDK11 + ZGC JVM Crash

Dear ZGC Experts,

In our 32G heap Kafka server, our JVM crashed twice, is it due to known ZGC
issues? Thanks in advance!
JDK version: OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM Corretto-11.0.10.9.1
