> Currently in hadoop codebase, we have two classes which implements byte 
> buffers pooling.
> One is ElasticByteBufferPool which doesn't use weak references and thus could 
> cause memory leaks in production environment. 
> Other is DirectBufferPool which uses weak references but doesn't support 
> caller's preference for either on-heap or off-heap buffers. 
>  
> The idea is to create an improved version of ElasticByteBufferPool by 
> subclassing it ( as it is marked as public and stable and used widely in hdfs 
> ) with essential functionalities required for effective buffer pooling. This 
> is important for the parent Vectored IO work.
