application threads were stopped for a long time
Hi, We have got the following problem.
application threads were stopped for a long time after Minor GC hava finished. Minor GC takes usally less than 1sec but a time application threads were stopped tekes often 100 sec.
What's jvm doing then? alternatively we want to get more information when Minor GC occured.

we attempt single thread GC or set 2400M for heap memory
or -XX:UseParallelGC or set the following param

but the situation wasn't improved.
