Sebb updated HTTPCORE-78:
-------------------------
Summary: ExpandableBuffer uses direct byte buffers (was: ExpandleBuffer
uses direct byte buffers)
> ExpandableBuffer uses direct byte buffers
> -----------------------------------------
>
> Key: HTTPCORE-78
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HTTPCORE-78
> Project: HttpComponents Core
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Affects Versions: 4.0-alpha4
> Reporter: Steffen Pingel
> Fix For: 4.0-alpha5
>
>
> HttpCore allocates subtypes of ExpandleBuffer per connection for buffering
> requests and responses. ExpandleBuffer creates a buffer using
> ByteBuffer.allocateDirect() which is initialized to a certain size but may be
> resized as needed requiring the garbage collector to discard the old buffer.
> According to the documentation for ByteBuffer, direct buffers are recommended
> for "large, long-lived buffers that are subject to the underlying system's
> native I/O operations". It seems that these buffers are rather short-lived
> and ByteBuffer.allocate() might be a better choice for allocation.
> Another option would be to pass a factory for allocating and releasing
> buffers which could reduce the number of allocations by reusing buffers.
