Li Pi commented on HBASE-4027: ------------------------------ @Ted, if it NPE's, that means that the cache doesn't contain the required item, so it's a cache miss. > 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, slabcachepatchv2.diff, > slabcachepatchv3.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.
