      Add command line option in jcmd and a runtime flag -XX:+HeapDumpRedacted that will generate a heap dump with primitive values zeroed/redacted. This is useful in debugging and analyzing the heap dumps of programs where objects may contain confidential or personal identifiable information. Object size and connectivity information is often sufficient for the vast majority of cases where heap dumps are used for debugging.
