hard to say. It may just be the application keeping data alive as you
indicate. I am not aware of a particular jdk8 bug that keeps objects
alive unnecessarily.
G1LogLevel=finest would give answer to why the mixed phase stopped
early. It would not give insight about what exactly kept the data alive
though.
Thanks,
