FramedTransport implementation that reuses its buffers
------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: THRIFT-831
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/THRIFT-831
             Project: Thrift
          Issue Type: New Feature
          Components: Library (Java)
            Reporter: Bryan Duxbury
            Assignee: Bryan Duxbury
             Fix For: 0.4


The current version of TFramedTransport allocates new read and write buffers 
every time a frame is read or written. This is wasteful, leading to expensive 
byte[] allocations, soaking up cpu and GC time unnecessarily. 

It would be handy to have an implementation that automatically reuses existing 
buffers if they're big enough, and grows them as appropriate. My testing shows 
this to be as much as a 60% reduction in CPU cost in dealing with the transport.

I think it's important for us to keep separate implementations available, since 
different applications might prefer to spend the CPU time to avoid having a big 
chunk of memory permanently allocated.
