## Interface ResourceManager

-     public interface ResourceManager

  Provides support for managing resources used by the local `Cache`.

  Re-balancing the GemFire Cache resources can be accomplished using a `RebalanceOperation`:

       ResourceManager resourceManager = cache.getResourceManager();
       RebalanceOperation rebalanceOp = resourceManager.createRebalanceFactory().start();

  Monitoring of heap utilization is enabled by setting the critical heap percentage using `setCriticalHeapPercentage(float)`.
  Since:
    GemFire 6.0

- - ### Field Detail

    - #### DEFAULT_CRITICAL_PERCENTAGE

          static final float DEFAULT_CRITICAL_PERCENTAGE

      The default percent of heap memory at which the VM is considered in a critical state. Current value is `0.0`.
      See Also:
        `setCriticalHeapPercentage(float)`, `getCriticalHeapPercentage()`, Constant Field Values

    - #### DEFAULT_EVICTION_PERCENTAGE

          static final float DEFAULT_EVICTION_PERCENTAGE

      The default percent of heap memory at which the VM should begin evicting data. Current value is `0.0`. Note that if a HeapLRU is created and the eviction heap percentage has not been set then it will default `80.0` unless the critical heap percentage has been set in which case it will default to a value `5.0` less than the critical heap percentage.

  - ### Method Detail

    - #### createRebalanceFactory

          RebalanceFactory createRebalanceFactory()

      Creates a factory for defining and starting `RebalanceOperations`.
      Returns:
        a factory for defining and starting RebalanceOperations

    - #### getRebalanceOperations

          java.util.Set<RebalanceOperation> getRebalanceOperations()

      Returns a set of all active `RebalanceOperations` that were started locally on this member.
      Returns:
        a set of all active RebalanceOperations started locally

    - #### setCriticalHeapPercentage

          void setCriticalHeapPercentage(float heapPercentage)

      Set the percentage of heap at or above which the cache is considered in danger of becoming inoperable due to garbage collection pauses or out of memory exceptions.

      Changing this value can cause `LowMemoryException` to be thrown from the following `Cache` operations:

      - `Region.put(Object, Object)`
      - `Region.put(Object, Object, Object)`
      - `Region.create(Object, Object)`
      - `Region.create(Object, Object, Object)`
      - `Region.putAll(java.util.Map)`
      - index creation
      - Execution of `Function`s whose `Function.optimizeForWrite()` returns true.

      Only one change to this attribute or the eviction heap percentage will be allowed at any given time and its effect will be fully realized before the next change is allowed. When using this threshold, the VM must be launched with the `-Xmx` and `-Xms` switches set to the same values. Many virtual machine implementations have additional VM switches to control the behavior of the garbage collector. We suggest that you investigate tuning the garbage collector when using this type of eviction controller. A collector that frequently collects is needed to keep our heap usage up to date. In particular, on the Sun HotSpot VM, the `-XX:+UseConcMarkSweepGC` flag needs to be set, and `-XX:CMSInitiatingOccupancyFraction=N` should be set with N being a percentage that is less than the `ResourceManager` critical and eviction heap thresholds. The JRockit VM has similar flags, `-Xgc:gencon` and `-XXgcTrigger:N`, which are required if using this feature. Please Note: the JRockit gcTrigger flag is based on heap free, not heap in use like the GemFire parameter. This means you need to set gcTrigger to 100-N. for example, if your eviction threshold is 30 percent, you will need to set gcTrigger to 70 percent. On the IBM VM, the flag to get a similar collector is `-Xgcpolicy:gencon`, but there is no corollary to the gcTrigger/CMSInitiatingOccupancyFraction flags, so when using this feature with an IBM VM, the heap usage statistics might lag the true memory usage of the VM, and thresholds may need to be set sufficiently high that the VM will initiate GC before the thresholds are crossed.

      Parameters:
        `heapPercentage` - a percentage of the maximum tenured heap for the VM
      Throws:
        `java.lang.IllegalStateException` - if the heapPercentage value is not >= 0 or <= 100 or when less than the current eviction heap percentage
