JVM Memory and Tuning

Java Heap and Perm Space Java Heap space is used by java runtime to allocate memory to Objects and JRE classes. Java memory is separated into two different regions. These regions are called Heap space and Permgen (for Permanent Generation) For the HotSpot Java VM, the memory pools for serial garbage collection are the following. Eden Space (heap): The pool from which memory is initially allocated for most objects. Survivor Space (heap): The pool containing objects that have survived the garbage collection of the Eden space. Tenured Generation (heap): The pool containing objects that have existed for some time in the survivor space. Code Cache (non-heap): The HotSpot Java VM also includes a code cache, containing memory that is used for compilation and storage of native code. Permanent generation has been completely removed in JDK 8.  JDK8: Metaspace In JDK 8, classes metadata is now stored in the native heap and this space is called Metaspace. There are som...

Getter Template with Optional<> for IntelliJ IDEA

Image
If you are working with Java 8 and Intellij IDEA, good practice to use Optional for getters, of course depending of your logic :) I'll show how to quick configure IDE for generation such getters. Create new template and place this code: #if($field.modifierStatic) static ## #end Optional<$field.type> ## #set($name = $StringUtil.capitalizeWithJavaBeanConvention( $StringUtil.sanitizeJavaIdentifier($helper.getPropertyName($field, $project)))) #if ($field.boolean && $field.primitive) is## #else get## #end ${name}() { return Optional.ofNullable($field.name); }

Three-phase commit protocol - 3PC

Image
Three-phase commit protocol (3PC) is a  distributed algorithm  which lets all nodes in a  distributed system  agree to  commit  a  transaction . Unlike the  two-phase commit protocol  (2PC) however, 3PC is non-blocking. Specifically, 3PC places an upper bound on the amount of time required before a transaction either commits or  aborts . This property ensures that if a given transaction is attempting to commit via 3PC and holds resource locks , it will release the locks after the timeout.  Three-Phase Commit protocol   - a non-blocking protocol Links: http://courses.cs.vt.edu/~cs5204/fall00/distributedDBMS/sreenu/3pc.html https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Three-phase_commit_protocol http://the-paper-trail.org/blog/consensus-protocols-three-phase-commit/
