Description
In order to analyze Metaspace workloads (in preparation for JDK-8221173) and find optimal chunk allocation strategies, it is useful to know the size distribution of metaspace allocations, especially per loader space type.

Add an option to jcmd VM.metaspace to print a size histogram for both class- and non-class space.

Collecting those information should be controlled by switch and by default off.


Comments
Too much complexity added for too little gain. These numbers can be get in different ways.
