What’s New

  • Zing 22.12.0.0, through various changed and updates, has been able to achieve 10% lower GC CPU usage on Cassandra.

  • Zing 22.12.0.0 lowers the amount of GC pauses with hidden classes.

  • Falcon has been improved for Jackson as well as other optimizations to the Falcon JIT compiler.

  • New JMX MXBean metrics replace old metric name below java.lang.GarbageCollector to increase accuracy for GC monitoring added with JDK-8265136: Previously, metric "GPGC New/Old" was providing a sum of GC pauses and concurrent GC duration. This metric is replaced by the following:

    • GPGC New/Old Cycles: duration time in ms of the concurrent GC which runs in parallel to application threads and is not stopping the application.

    • GPGC New/Old Pauses: GC pause time in ms.

On Java 11 and 17, the new metrics are enabled by default and the old removed. If you need to switch back to the old metric, add -XX:+GPGCReportLegacyGarbageCollectorMXBean.

On Java 8, only the old metric is active by default. To switch to the new metric add -XX:-GPGCReportLegacyGarbageCollectorMXBean.
