------------------------------------------------
Ya. This seems to be an important area once we cross the actual scan related
bottle necks.
> [PERF] Reuse the IPCUtil#buildCellBlock buffer

> Running some scan profiling, flight recorder was mildly fingering resize of
> the buffer allocated in IPCUtil#buildCellBlock as a point of contention. It
> was half-hearted blaming it for a few hundreds of ms over a five minute
> sampling with a few tens of instances showing.
> I tried then w/ flamegraph/lightweight profiler and this reported the buffer
> allocations taking 22% of our total CPU. See attachment trace.svg.
> I enabled TRACE-level logging on org.apache.hadoop.hbase.ipc.IPCUtil and
> indeed every allocation was doing a resize from initial allocation of 16k --
> the default up to 220k (this test returns ten randomly sized rows zipfian
> sized between 0 and 8k).
> Upping the allocation to 220k meant we now avoided the resize but the initial
> allocation was now blamed for 10% of allocations (see trace.2.svg attached).
> Lets do buffer reuse. Will save a bunch of allocation and CPU.
