-----------------------------------------------------------------
https://github.com/apache/hbase/pull/7076 introduces
{{hbase.regionserver.free.heap.min.memory.size}} configuration for defining the
minimum amount of memory that should be reserved. So you can set it to 0 if you
want to allocate more memory to MemStores and block cache. If you're still
around, please take a look and give us any feedback. Thanks.

> Key: HBASE-15625
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-15625
> Project: HBase
> Issue Type: Bug
> Affects Versions: 1.2.0
> Reporter: Jean-Marc Spaggiari
> Assignee: JinHyuk Kim
> Priority: Minor
> Labels: beginner, pull-request-available
>
> When we start a RS, we check
> HConstants.HBASE_CLUSTER_MINIMUM_MEMORY_THRESHOLD to make sure we always keep
> 20% of the heap for HBase (See below). In the past maximum heap size was
> about 20GB, which means 4GB for HBase.
> Today, with huge heaps and GC1, 20% gives a lot to HBase. Like with 80GB
> heap, it gives 16GB, which I think it not required.
> We need to make HBASE_CLUSTER_MINIMUM_MEMORY_THRESHOLD configurable and lower
> it's default value to 10%. It will not make any difference on any HBase
> configuration but will allow admins to be more flexible.
> Same thing for the minimum memstore and blockcache sizes.
