> As outlined in CASSANDRA-11818, {{ByteBuffer.allocateDirect}} uses
> {{Bits.reserveMemory}}, which is there to respect the JVM setting
> {{-XX:MaxDirectMemorySize=...}}.
> {{Bits.reserveMemory}} first tries an "optimistic" {{tryReserveMemory}} and
> exits immediately on success. However, if that somehow doesn't succeed, it
> triggers a {{System.gc()}}, which is bad IMO (however, kind of how direct
> buffers work in Java). After that GC it sleeps and tries to reserve the
> memory up to 9 times - up to 511 ms - and then throws
> {{OutOfMemoryError("Direct buffer memory")}}.
> This is unnecessary for us since we always immediately "free" direct buffers
> as soon as we no longer need them.
> Proposal: Manage direct-memory reservations in our own code and skip
> {{Bits.reserveMemory}} that way.
> (However, Netty direct buffers are not under our control.)
