metaspace/gc tests - are the test for the Metaspace GC tuning, which is described in the
|
|
Java SE 8 HotSpot[tm] Virtual Machine Garbage Collection Tuning
|
|
|
|
Tests load classes and monitor the used/committed amounts of metaspace.
|
|
There are three types of tests all extending base class - MetaspaceBaseGC
|
|
|
|
MemoryUsageTest -
|
|
trivial test to check memory dynamic (loading classes should lead to growth
|
|
of used memory, gc to reduce)
|
|
|
|
FirstGCTest -
|
|
loads classes until the GC has happened and check the GC has happened at the
|
|
right moment (as stated in the Spec)
|
|
|
|
HighWaterMarkTest
|
|
The test loads classes until the committed metaspace achieves the certain
|
|
level between MetaspaceSize and MaxMetaspaceSize.
|
|
Then it counts how many times GC has been induced.
|
|
Test verifies that MinMetaspaceFreeRatio/MaxMetaspaceFreeRatio settings
|
|
affect the frequency of GC. (High-water mark)
|
|
|
|
Note: GC could be caused not by Metaspace. When GC happens, the tests check
|
|
gc.log file to find the reason of GC. Tests will pass if there is no guarantee
|
|
that GC was induced by metaspace.
