T Jake Luciani commented on CASSANDRA-1651:
-------------------------------------------
The idea is to minimize allocation on intermediate byte[] copies. this will
help resources and performance overall.
I think making a copy to go into the cache is worth that benefit for non-cached
reads.
As for string interning(1255) I'm not sure how it relates to this issue.
Intern() only affects strings and when we create a string from a bytebuffer the
string class makes a copy byte array to put the data in. So would not affect
anything here AFAIK.
> Improve read performance by using byte array slabs

> Now that the code has switched to byte buffers internally, it should be
> possible to improve read performance by reducing the number of byte array
> allocations.
> This patch accomplishes this by and re-using sections of a larger byte array
> slab.
> I've benchmarked it locally and seen a slight improvement on reads, a larger
> scale benchmark should be performed.
> Also the size of a slab can be configured in cassandra.yaml
