Ted Yu commented on HBASE-4027: ------------------------------- onHeapCache should be used in getBlock(): {code} + /* if ((cachedBlock = onHeapCache.getBlock(blockName, caching)) != null) { + return cachedBlock; + } else */ if ((cachedBlock = offHeapCache.getBlock(blockName, caching)) != null) { + // onHeapCache.cacheBlock(blockName, cachedBlock); {code} Otherwise onHeapCache.cacheBlock() should be commented out in: {code} + public void cacheBlock(String blockName, ByteBuffer buf, boolean inMemory) { + onHeapCache.cacheBlock(blockName, buf, inMemory); + offHeapCache.cacheBlock(blockName, buf); + } {code} > 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 > Assignee: Li Pi > Priority: Minor > Attachments: slabcachepatch.diff > > > 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.
