In Java 8 it is shown as none of the available 4 collectors (GC) are selected by default

I have a container running a Spring Boot microservice. I am using openjdk version "1.8.0_212" under OpenJDK Runtime Environment (IcedTea 3.12.0) (Alpine 8.212.04-r0) When I use -XX:+PrintFlagsFinal flag and print the JVM parameters I expected to see

-XX:+UseParallelGC as true

But to my surprise none of the 4 collectors (-XX:+UseSerialGC,-XX:+UseParallelGC,-XX:+UseConcMarkSweepGC,–XX:+UseG1GC) were active.

Shown below is my dockerfile:

FROM openjdk:8-jdk-alpine
ADD  ./demo-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT.jar /usr/src/factorial/
WORKDIR /usr/src/factorial
EXPOSE 8080
CMD java $JAVA_OPTIONS -jar demo-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT.jar

I'm running this using:

  docker run -d --rm --name factorialorialContainer --memory='512m' --cpus=2 -p 8080:8080 -e JAVA_OPTIONS="$(cat /Users/sulekahelmini/Documents/fyp/fyp_work/MLscripts/$3)" suleka96/factorial:latest

The flags_base.txt

-Xms512m -Xmx512m -XX:+PrintFlagsFinal -version

This is part of the output of -XX:+PrintFlagsFinal

After running

jcmd [pid] VM.flags

I am getting the below output which also does not specify a collector:

-XX:CICompilerCount=2 -XX:InitialHeapSize=536870912 -XX:MaxHeapSize=536870912 -XX:MaxNewSize=178913280 -XX:MinHeapDeltaBytes=196608 -XX:NewSize=178913280 -XX:OldSize=357957632 -XX:+StartAttachListener -XX:+UseCompressedClassPointers -XX:+UseCompressedOops 

What Is happening here? Is there anything I'm doing wrong?

In JDK 8, if no Use*GC flags are set, and if Parallel GC hasn't been chosen ergonomically, then Serial GC is used.

The fix for JDK-8068582 automatically turns on -XX:+UseSerialGC in such cases since JDK 9.
