> Quick intro: A ByteBuffer.rewind() resets the position to zero. What if the 
> ByteBuffer was created with an offset? new ByteBuffer(data, 3, 10)? The 
> ByteBufferSerializer will send from pos=0 and not from pos=3 onwards.
> Solution: No rewind() but flip() for reading a ByteBuffer. That's what the 
> flip is meant for.
> Story:
> Imagine the incoming data comes from a byte[], e.g. a network stream 
> containing topicname, partition, key, value, ... and you want to create a new 
> ProducerRecord for that. As the constructor of ProducerRecord requires 
> (topic, partition, key, value) you have to copy from above byte[] the key and 
> value. That means there is a memcopy taking place. Since the payload can be 
> potentially large, that introduces a lot of overhead. Twice the memory.
> A nice solution to this problem is to simply wrap the network byte[] into new 
> ByteBuffers:
> ByteBuffer key = ByteBuffer.wrap(data, keystart, keylength);
> ByteBuffer value = ByteBuffer.wrap(data, valuestart, valuelength);
> and then use the ByteBufferSerializer instead of the ByteArraySerializer.
> But that does not work as the ByteBufferSerializer does a rewind(), hence 
> both, key and value, will start at position=0 of the data[].
> public class ByteBufferSerializer implements Serializer<ByteBuffer> {
>     public byte[] serialize(String topic, ByteBuffer data) {
>          data.rewind();
