HBase GC日志

HBase依靠ZooKeeper来感知集群成员及其存活性。假设一个server暂停了非常长时间，它将无法给ZooKeeper quorum发送心跳信息，其他server会觉得这台server已死亡。这将导致master为其启动恢复进程。当该server脱离停顿时，它会发现它的全部租约都已失效（hbase
client端每次和regionserver交互的时候，都会在服务器端生成一个租约（Lease)。租约的有效期由參数hbase.regionserver.lease.period确定）。然后自杀。

HBase开发团队亲切地称这个场景为Juliet Pause。

在HBase中使用默认GC，能够看到全部线程中的长时间停顿，包含Juliet Pause， 又名"GC of
Death"。能够在JAVA虚拟机中开启GC日志，来帮助调试这样的问题。

在hbase-env.sh中，取消下面任一凝视就可以开启GC日志：

# This enables basic gc logging to the .out file.
# export SERVER_GC_OPTS="-verbose:gc -XX:+PrintGCDetails -XX:+PrintGCDateStamps"

# This enables basic gc logging to its own file.
# export SERVER_GC_OPTS="-verbose:gc -XX:+PrintGCDetails -XX:+PrintGCDateStamps -Xloggc:<FILE-PATH>"

# This enables basic GC logging to its own file with automatic log rolling. Only applies to jdk 1.6.0_34+ and 1.7.0_2+.
# export SERVER_GC_OPTS="-verbose:gc -XX:+PrintGCDetails -XX:+PrintGCDateStamps -Xloggc:<FILE-PATH> -XX:+UseGCLogFileRotation -XX:NumberOfGCLogFiles=1 -XX:GCLogFileSize=512M"

# If <FILE-PATH> is not replaced, the log file(.gc) would be generated in the HBASE_LOG_DIR.       

点击"Local logs"，查看gc-xxx.log日志，格式例如以下：

CMS垃圾回收的运行过程：

1、CMS-initial-mark ：初始标记，从root对象開始标记存活的对象。它花费的时间是real=1.01 secs，因为这一步骤是STW的，所以整个application被暂停了1.01秒。而且，user time和real time相差不大，所以确实是仅仅有一个thread运行这一步；

2、CMS-concurrent-mark-start：并发标记。它运行时间是real=0.53 secs，但由于这一步是能够并发运行的。所以系统在这段时间内并没有暂停；

3、CMS-concurrent-preclean-start ：concurrent precleaning。相同的。这一步也是并发运行；

4、CMS-remark：又一次标记。暂停应用程序。同一时候启动一定数目的垃圾回收线程。并行地标记第2阶段遗漏的对象（在并发标记阶段结束后对象状态的更新导致）。

它的运行时间是real=0.97
secs。

由于这是STW的步骤，而且它的pause time通常是最长的，所以这一步的运行时间会直接决定这次Full GC对系统的影响。

5、CMS-concurrent-sweep-start：并发清除。

6、CMS-concurrent-reset-start：并发重设状态等待下一次CMS的触发。

仅仅有在第1、4阶段须要暂停全部的应用程序。其他阶段的垃圾回收线程与应用程序线程并发运行。
