> ### Motivation and proposal > Hi, heap dump brings about pauses for application's execution(STW), this is a > well-known pain. JDK-8252842 have added parallel support to heapdump in an > attempt to alleviate this issue. However, all concurrent threads > competitively write heap data to the same file, and more memory is required > to maintain the concurrent buffer queue. In experiments, we did not feel a > significant performance improvement from that. > > The minor-pause solution, which is presented in this PR, is a two-stage > segmented heap dump: > > 1. Stage One(STW): Concurrent threads directly write data to multiple heap > files. > 2. Stage Two(Non-STW): Merge multiple heap files into one complete heap dump > file. > > Now concurrent worker threads are not required to maintain a buffer queue, > which would result in more memory overhead, nor do they need to compete for > locks. The changes in the overall design are as follows: > >  > <p align="center">Fig1. Before</p> > >  > <p align="center">Fig1.
