Would be interesting to benchmark the off-heap mode for memory intensive
jobs.
I would tend to agree with your performance assessment. Since Flink always
did do off-heap style techniques (albeit on heap) the difference should not be
gigantic.
I'd be happy to if you took this over. I could merge it (it breaks nothing)
and you could pick up the mini cluster and script configs.
