Class RamUsageEstimator

    java.lang.Object
      org.apache.lucene.util.RamUsageEstimator

    public final class RamUsageEstimator

extends Object

Estimates the size (memory representation) of Java objects.

NOTE: Starting with Lucene 3.6, creating instances of this class is deprecated. If you still do this, please note, that instances of `RamUsageEstimator` are not thread-safe! It is also deprecated to enable checking of String intern-ness, the new static method no longer allow to do this. Interned strings will be counted as any other object and count for memory usage.

In Lucene 3.6, custom `MemoryModel`s were completely removed. The new implementation is now using Hotspot™ internals to get the correct scale factors and offsets for calculating memory usage.

  `sizeOf(Object)`, `shallowSizeOf(Object)`, `shallowSizeOfInstance(Class)`
NOTE: This API is for internal purposes only and might change in incompatible ways in the next release.

Constructor Detail

### RamUsageEstimator

    @Deprecated
    public RamUsageEstimator()

  Deprecated. Don't create instances of this class, instead use the static `sizeOf(Object)` method that has no intern checking, too.

  Creates a new instance of `RamUsageEstimator` with intern checking enabled. Don't ever use this method, as intern checking is deprecated, because it is not free of side-effects and strains the garbage collector additionally.

### RamUsageEstimator

    @Deprecated
    public RamUsageEstimator(boolean checkInterned)

  Deprecated. Don't create instances of this class, instead use the static `sizeOf(Object)` method.

  Creates a new instance of `RamUsageEstimator`.

  Parameters:
    `checkInterned` - check if Strings are interned and don't add to size if they are. Defaults to true but if you know the objects you are checking won't likely contain many interned Strings, it will be faster to turn off intern checking. Intern checking is deprecated altogether, as it is not free of side-effects and strains the garbage collector additionally.

Method Detail

### isSupportedJVM

    public static boolean isSupportedJVM()

  Returns true, if the current JVM is fully supported by `RamUsageEstimator`. If this method returns `false` you are maybe using a 3rd party Java VM that is not supporting Oracle/Sun private APIs. The memory estimates can be imprecise then (no way of detecting compressed references, alignments, etc.). Lucene still tries to use sensible defaults.

### alignObjectSize

    public static long alignObjectSize(long size)

  Aligns an object size to be the next multiple of `NUM_BYTES_OBJECT_ALIGNMENT`.

### sizeOf

    public static long sizeOf(byte[] arr)

  Returns the size in bytes of the byte[] object.

### sizeOf

    public static long sizeOf(boolean[] arr)

  Returns the size in bytes of the boolean[] object.

### sizeOf

    public static long sizeOf(char[] arr)

  Returns the size in bytes of the char[] object.

### sizeOf

    public static long sizeOf(short[] arr)

  Returns the size in bytes of the short[] object.

### sizeOf

    public static long sizeOf(int[] arr)

  Returns the size in bytes of the int[] object.

### sizeOf

    public static long sizeOf(float[] arr)

  Returns the size in bytes of the float[] object.

### sizeOf

    public static long sizeOf(long[] arr)

  Returns the size in bytes of the long[] object.

### sizeOf

    public static long sizeOf(double[] arr)

  Returns the size in bytes of the double[] object.

### sizeOf

    public static long sizeOf(Object obj)

  Estimates the RAM usage by the given object. It will walk the object tree and sum up all referenced objects.

  Resource Usage: This method internally uses a set of every object seen during traversals so it does allocate memory (it isn't side-effect free). After the method exits, this memory should be GCed.

### shallowSizeOf

    public static long shallowSizeOf(Object obj)

  Estimates a "shallow" memory usage of the given object. For arrays, this will be the memory taken by array storage (no subreferences will be followed). For objects, this will be the memory taken by the fields. JVM object alignments are also applied.

### shallowSizeOfInstance

    public static long shallowSizeOfInstance(Class<?> clazz)

  Returns the shallow instance size in bytes an instance of the given class would occupy. This works with all conventional classes and primitive types, but not with arrays (the size then depends on the number of elements and varies from object to object).

  Throws:
    `IllegalArgumentException` - if `clazz` is an array class.
  See Also:
    `shallowSizeOf(Object)`

### getUnsupportedFeatures

    public static EnumSet<RamUsageEstimator.JvmFeature> getUnsupportedFeatures()

  Return the set of unsupported JVM features that improve the estimation.

### getSupportedFeatures

    public static EnumSet<RamUsageEstimator.JvmFeature> getSupportedFeatures()

  Return the set of supported JVM features that improve the estimation.

### humanReadableUnits

    public static String humanReadableUnits(long bytes)

  Returns `size` in human-readable units (GB, MB, KB or bytes).

### humanReadableUnits

    public static String humanReadableUnits(long bytes,
                                            DecimalFormat df)

  Returns `size` in human-readable units (GB, MB, KB or bytes).

### humanSizeOf

    public static String humanSizeOf(Object object)

  Return a human-readable size of a given object.

  See Also:
    `sizeOf(Object)`, `humanReadableUnits(long)`

### estimateRamUsage

    @Deprecated
    public long estimateRamUsage(Object obj)

  Deprecated. Don't create instances of this class, instead use the static `sizeOf(Object)` method.

  Creates a new istance of `RamUsageEstimator`.

  See Also:
    `sizeOf(Object)`
