------------------------------------
Summary: Binary Data in Java requires byte array backed
byte-buffers
Key: THRIFT-2661
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/THRIFT-2661
Project: Thrift
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Java - Library
Reporter: Rajiv Kurian
Priority: Minor
Even though binary data can be supplied and received from Thrift objects using
ByteBuffers, these ByteBuffers cannot be Direct ByteBuffers. This means that an
extra copy is being made by the JVM or by the library when sending/receiving
data. I am using Thrift to send flyweight objects built on top of a
DirectByteBuffer in hopes of eliminating copies. Thrift throws exceptions
unless it is a HeapByteBuffer. HeapByteBuffers incur additional copies,
defeating the zero-copy flyweight structure approach to some extent. Is it
possible to not explicitly depend on byte array backed ByteBuffers?
