问题

使用java开源项目经常需要调优jvm，以优化gc。对于gc，如果对象都是短时对象，那么jvm相对容易优化，假如碰上像solr使用自带java cache的项目，那么gc严重受限于cache，因为cache对象并非短时对象，以至于young gc常常伴有大量的内存对象拷贝，严重影响gc性能。

Ehcache BigMemory

Java的内存管理机制极其不适用于cache，最好的办法是使用jni实现的cache系统。另一种通用办法：Ehcache BigMemory(http://ehcache.org/)。BigMemory extends Ehcache's' capabilities with an off-heap store that frees you from GC’s constraints. 

对于BigMemory，直接下载免费的32G限制的版本(注: 每个jvm进程最多使用32G的off-heap空间，对大多数应用已足够)。

关于如何使用，参见官方文档： http://terracotta.org/documentation/4.0/bigmemorygo/get-started

使用示例可参考代码中自带的样例：bigmemory-go-4.0.0/code-samples/src/main/java/com/bigmemory/samples

样例代码缺少编译配置build.xml, 将下面的 build.xml 放在 bigmemory-go-4.0.0/code-samples 即可使用ant 编译示例代码：

<project name="bigmemory" basedir=".">
        <property name="build.dir" value="${basedir}/build" />
        <property name="src.class.dir" value="${build.dir}" />
        <property name="src.dir" value="${basedir}/src" />
        <property name="lib.dir" value="${basedir}/../lib" />
        <property name="config.dir" value="${basedir}/config" />
        <path id="base.classpath">
                <pathelement location="${src.class.dir}" />
                <pathelement location="${config.dir}" />
                <fileset dir="${lib.dir}">
                        <include name="**/*.jar" />
                </fileset>
        </path>
        <path id="classpath">
                <path refid="base.classpath" />
                <fileset dir="${lib.dir}">
                        <include name="**/*.jar" />
                </fileset>
        </path>
        <path id="build.src.path">
                <pathelement location="${src.class.dir}" />
        </path>
        <target name="clean" description="clean">
                <delete dir="${build.dir}" />
        </target>
        <target name="compile" depends="clean" description="compile">
                <mkdir dir="${src.class.dir}" />
                <javac srcdir="${src.dir}" destdir="${src.class.dir}" source="1.6" debug="on" encoding="utf-8" includeantruntime="false">
                        <classpath refid="base.classpath" />
                </javac>
        </target>
        <target name="jar" depends="compile" description="jar">
                <jar destfile="${build.dir}/bigmemory.jar">
                        <fileset dir="${src.class.dir}">
                                <exclude name="**/timer/**" />
                        </fileset>
                </jar>
        </target>
</project>

配置说明：bigmemory-go-4.0.0/config-samples/ehcache.xml 详细说明了配置参数。

限制：

1、存储对象全部使用 java.io.Serializable 做序列化和反序列化，性能有损失。

2、off-heap空间一经分配不可调整。

solr缓存

引入Ehcache bigmemory是为了优化solr的缓存。下面代码是基于solr cache基类实现的ehcache缓存类，使用上同于solr.FastLRUCache，需要ehcache的外部配置文件。
