Li Pi commented on HBASE-4027: ------------------------------ This would be really useful. I think even making copies out of the direct byte buffers would confer a substantial performance advantage over the FS cache. > Enable direct byte buffers LruBlockCache > ---------------------------------------- > > Key: HBASE-4027 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-4027 > Project: HBase > Issue Type: Improvement > Reporter: Jason Rutherglen > Priority: Minor > > Java offers the creation of direct byte buffers which are allocated outside > of the heap. > They need to be manually free'd, which can be accomplished using an > documented {{clean}} method. > The feature will be optional. After implementing, we can benchmark for > differences in speed and garbage collection observances. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
