Andrew Purtell commented on HBASE-10573:
----------------------------------------

bq. I'm curious about the decision to use Netty's classes here

Call it an investigation. 

- We use Netty already
- Composite buffers
- Arena allocation
- Dynamic buffer resizing
- Reference counting
- Dev and testing by another community

bq. I looked at Netty's ByteBuf a while back and found it didn't support 
instance reuse, thus was insufficient for his requirement. Did I miss something?

If that is the most important consideration above all else, outweighing all 
positives, then you did not miss something. 

What specifically would you suggest in the alternative?
