+1 for the patch and +1 for a separate ticket.

I'm pretty comfortable switching the representation for 1.2.5; let's make a 
separate ticket to move off heap for 2.0.

Instead of storing the long[] and byte[][] in memory, can we store the 
indexes/pointers of the decorated key in memory... which will be helpful to 
address the off-heap decorated key's and offset?

For example: 
During the binary search, we can use offheap indexes.length to find the 
midpoint in memory then reference it back to offheap BB which will be 
deserialized as needed (Summary effectively becomes a contiguous off-heap 
location)?
