Siddharth Seth updated TEZ-1449:
--------------------------------

    Attachment: TEZ-1449.1.txt

WIP patch. Has most of the events changed to ByteBuffer. VertexManagerEvent, 
however uses EventPayload, which I'd like to use for all Events, (without 
additional reference  memory overheads).
EventPayload has the advantage of letting the events remain the same despite 
being backed by a ByteString/ByteBuffer. However accessing getPayload() will 
crate a new copy. It's being stored for now, but it's likely better to create 
on the fly.

Just using ByteBuffer on the Events, would require each of the events to be 
subclassed - to efficiently use ByteStrings. That'll also require some playing 
around with the core payload to store an Object instead of a ByteBuffer to 
reduce a single additional reference.

> From discussions with [~bikassaha] and [~gopalv] - we should move the events 
> to use bytebuffers as well.
> - This is where excessive copying can be avoided once we move to PB based RPC 
> (or to other libraries which rely on nio)
> - Future proofing the API
