It wasn't clear why the absolute_min_size is 16K .. that's not related to
Netty I presume. Couldn't it be much smaller ?
> Provide size-aware set operations in value vectors

> Project: Apache Drill

>
> DRILL-5211 describes a memory fragmentation issue in Drill. The resolution is
> to limit vector sizes to 16 MB (the size of Netty memory allocation "slabs.")
> Effort starts by providing "size-aware" set operations in value vectors which:
> * Operate as {{setSafe()}} while vectors are below 16 MB.
> * Throw a new, specific exception ({{VectorOverflowException}}) if setting
> the value (and growing the vector) would exceed the vector limit.
> The methods in value vectors then become the foundation on which we can
> construct size-aware record batch "writers."
