Heap fragmentation occurs when a Java application allocates a mix of small and large objects that have different life times. The main negative effect of fragmentation is that long GC pause times caused by the JVM being forced to compact the Java heap. These long pause times are typically triggered when your Java program attempts to allocate a large object, such as an array.
