I again have to disagree on this feature. Why would you need to have to deallocate memory? You should know how much you need. Its always better to have a contiguous memory allocated. It works well. Dynamically resizing will pose challenges and add to performance issues. >From cache perspective, we are anyways clearing the element, making way for new element. IMHO, I see offheap as a big chunk of memory which is pre-allocated and the MemoryManager we have written should deal with all the object management. We can manage memory as chunks or realize maps in native memory, is all upto the design we choose. @ashok - You don't need dev access to submit patches. Create a JIRA account and submit patches. New committers @ASF are voted by PMC based on their contribution :) thanks ashish
