    This logic is a copy/paste with `SpilledSubpartitionView` and 
`PipelinedSubpartition`. It gets even more complicated in next PR. 
    
    How about changing `ResultSubpartitionView` to an abstract class with 
`ResultSubpartition parent` field and following methods:
    ```
    Buffer getNextBuffer() throws IOException, InterruptedException {
        Buffer next = getNextBufferInternal();
        if (buffer != null) {
                parent.decreaseStatistics(buffer);
        }
        return next;
    }
    
    protected abstract Buffer getNextBufferInternal() throws IOException, 
InterruptedException;
    ``` 
    And rename all current implementations of `getNextBuffer` to 
`getNextBufferInternal`.
    
    Thus:
    1. You wouldn't have to reimplement and handle decrementing in many places, 
but only one
    2. `protected int backlog;` field from `ResultSubpartition` could be made 
private.
