             Summary: Prevent chains of DirectByteBuffers forming when slicing 
the thread's cached buffer
                 Key: QPID-6770
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/QPID-6770
             Project: Qpid
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Java Broker
            Reporter: Keith Wall


The QBB has a per thread cached DirectByteBuffer.  Callers requiring a buffer 
are served slices of this buffer.  The algorithm currently takes a slice  of 
the buffer for the caller, then takes a second slice to represent the bytes 
that remain unused in the buffer and discards the original references.  This 
approach has the unfortunate consequence that a chain of ByteBuffers forms as 
each DirectByteBuffer slice references its parent via its attachment field.

The following posting describes the issue:
