title: Regarding the difference between minor collection and major collection for java GC
body: <p>I have a question for java GC. I know that there is minor collection for young generation and major collection for tenured generation and normally the size of YG is smaller than the size of tenured generation. So the minor collection occurs more often than the major collection.</p>
  
  <p>My question is that when the minor collection and major collection start, how do they impact the application threads differently?</p>
  
  <p>If the minor collection occurs more often, does it make the application threads pause more often even though it collects garbage objects quickly?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks.</p>
