Hairong Kuang commented on HADOOP-2975:
---------------------------------------

I got a chance to talk to my coworker Ben about object allocation in Java. it 
seemed we should not worry too much about the frequent small object allocation 
since Java does a pretty good job on this. See 
http://www-128.ibm.com/developerworks/java/library/j-jtp01274.html. Instead we 
should try hard to avoid big object allocation.

> IPC server should not allocate a buffer for each request

> Currently the IPC server allocates a buffer for each incoming request. The 
> buffer is thrown away after the request is serialized. This leads to very 
> inefficient heap utilization. It would be nicer if all requests from one 
> connection could share a same common buffer since the ipc server has only one 
> request is being read from a socket at a time.
