Very encouraging indeed! Thank you so much for sharing your results with the community!!! This is excellent to see and we really appreciate your openness. I have a couple comments/questions.
(1) from the DISCUSS thread re: EOL of 1.1, it seems we'll continue to support 1.x releases for some time, including with overlap of the 2.0 line. Based on the energy of the community, I would guess these will be maintained until 2.2 at least. Therefore, offheap patches that have seen production exposure seem like a reasonable candidate for backport, perhaps in a 1.4 or 1.5 release timeframe. (2) I'm surprised to see your max GC pause go from 11s -> 7s. Do I understand you correctly? This is an improvement to be sure, but I would have expected more gain. Can you elaborate on your GC and heapsize settings? Have you profiled the heaps at all to see where the pressure lies once the bulk of the data pathway is moved to direct memory? Thanks a lot!
