Interview with Aleksey Shipilev
summary
Shenandoah is a garbage collector built for large heaps that performs concurrent relocation so object compaction and pointer fixes do not stop application threads. Pauses become a function of the root set, not heap size — reduces pause dependence to root set size — enabling much shorter, more frequent pauses while some GC work still competes for CPU. Integration targets JDK 10/11, and available in Fedora and RHEL builds for testing now though not labeled production-ready.
