See Also:
  Constant Field Values

### NUM_BYTES_LONG

    public static final int NUM_BYTES_LONG

See Also:
  Constant Field Values

### NUM_BYTES_DOUBLE

    public static final int NUM_BYTES_DOUBLE

See Also:
  Constant Field Values

### NUM_BYTES_OBJECT_REF

    public static final int NUM_BYTES_OBJECT_REF

  Number of bytes this jvm uses to represent an object reference.

### NUM_BYTES_OBJECT_HEADER

    public static final int NUM_BYTES_OBJECT_HEADER

  Number of bytes to represent an object header (no fields, no alignments).

### NUM_BYTES_ARRAY_HEADER

    public static final int NUM_BYTES_ARRAY_HEADER

  Number of bytes to represent an array header (no content, but with alignments).

### NUM_BYTES_OBJECT_ALIGNMENT

    public static final int NUM_BYTES_OBJECT_ALIGNMENT

  A constant specifying the object alignment boundary inside the JVM. Objects will always take a full multiple of this constant, possibly wasting some space.

Method Detail

### isSupportedJVM

    public static boolean isSupportedJVM()

  Returns true, if the current JVM is fully supported by `RamUsageEstimator`. If this method returns `false` you are maybe using a 3rd party Java VM that is not supporting Oracle/Sun private APIs. The memory estimates can be imprecise then (no way of detecting compressed references, alignments, etc.). Lucene still tries to use sensible defaults.

### alignObjectSize

    public static long alignObjectSize(long size)

  Aligns an object size to be the next multiple of `NUM_BYTES_OBJECT_ALIGNMENT`.

### sizeOf

    public static long sizeOf(byte[] arr)

  Returns the size in bytes of the byte[] object.

### sizeOf

    public static long sizeOf(boolean[] arr)

  Returns the size in bytes of the boolean[] object.

### sizeOf

    public static long sizeOf(char[] arr)

  Returns the size in bytes of the char[] object.

### sizeOf

    public static long sizeOf(short[] arr)

  Returns the size in bytes of the short[] object.

### sizeOf

    public static long sizeOf(int[] arr)

  Returns the size in bytes of the int[] object.

### sizeOf

    public static long sizeOf(float[] arr)

  Returns the size in bytes of the float[] object.

### sizeOf

    public static long sizeOf(long[] arr)

  Returns the size in bytes of the long[] object.

### sizeOf

    public static long sizeOf(double[] arr)

  Returns the size in bytes of the double[] object.

### sizeOf

    public static long sizeOf(Object obj)

  Estimates the RAM usage by the given object. It will walk the object tree and sum up all referenced objects.

  Resource Usage: This method internally uses a set of every object seen during traversals so it does allocate memory (it isn't side-effect free). After the method exits, this memory should be GCed.

### shallowSizeOf

    public static long shallowSizeOf(Object obj)

  Estimates a "shallow" memory usage of the given object. For arrays, this will be the memory taken by array storage (no subreferences will be followed). For objects, this will be the memory taken by the fields. JVM object alignments are also applied.

### shallowSizeOfInstance

    public static long shallowSizeOfInstance(Class<?> clazz)

  Returns the shallow instance size in bytes an instance of the given class would occupy. This works with all conventional classes and primitive types, but not with arrays (the size then depends on the number of elements and varies from object to object).

  Throws:
    `IllegalArgumentException` - if `clazz` is an array class.
  See Also:
    `shallowSizeOf(Object)`

### getUnsupportedFeatures

    public static EnumSet<RamUsageEstimator.JvmFeature> getUnsupportedFeatures()

  Return the set of unsupported JVM features that improve the estimation.

### getSupportedFeatures

    public static EnumSet<RamUsageEstimator.JvmFeature> getSupportedFeatures()

  Return the set of supported JVM features that improve the estimation.

### humanReadableUnits

    public static String humanReadableUnits(long bytes)

  Returns `size` in human-readable units (GB, MB, KB or bytes).

### humanReadableUnits

    public static String humanReadableUnits(long bytes,
                                            DecimalFormat df)

  Returns `size` in human-readable units (GB, MB, KB or bytes).

### humanSizeOf

    public static String humanSizeOf(Object object)

  Return a human-readable size of a given object.

  See Also:
    `sizeOf(Object)`, `humanReadableUnits(long)`
