Description
The HeapDumper
strategy interface makes some assumptions that are HotSpot-specific. This became apparent while implementing support for dumping the heap on OpenJ9. For example, HotSpot requires a file location for the heap dump that much end with .hprof
while OpenJ9 take an optional file location pattern and returns the location that it actually used. The live
parameter is also HotSpot-specific.
We need to evolve HeapDumper
to remove these assumptions. It's not clear to me how to do so in a backwards-compatible manner so this may need to wait till 3.0.
