T Jake Luciani commented on CASSANDRA-1651:
-------------------------------------------

Regarding 1)

https://svn.apache.org/viewvc/lucene/dev/trunk/lucene/src/java/org/apache/lucene/util/RecyclingByteBlockAllocator.java?view=markup

This class has a recycleByteBlocks() call that requires the caller to inform 
this class when buffers are no longer in use.
Since we don't have the ability to do this now, it's not a good fit to me.


One other approach I'm trying is to used WeakHashRefs and ReferenceQueues to 
track when a buffer is ready to be GCd and re-use it then.

> Now that the code has switched to byte buffers internally,  it should be 
> possible to improve read performance by reducing the number of byte array 
> allocations.
> This patch accomplishes this by and re-using sections of a larger byte array 
> slab.
> I've benchmarked it locally and seen a slight improvement on reads, a larger 
> scale benchmark should be performed.
> Also the size of a slab can be configured in cassandra.yaml
