Resolution: Won't Do
This improvement was already done inside Netty.
> avoid one additional buffer copy when receiving messages

> Key: FLINK-7428
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-7428
> Project: Flink
> Issue Type: Sub-task
> Components: Network
> Affects Versions: 1.4.0
> Reporter: Nico Kruber
> Assignee: Nico Kruber
> Priority: Major
>
> By using {{LengthFieldBasedFrameDecoder}}, we create one unnecessary (netty)
> buffer copy in this class which could be easily avoided since we can ensure
> that the buffer is free to be released after decoding it in the
> {{NettyMessageDecoder}} and into our own buffer and/or events.
> The solution would be to make {{NettyMessageDecoder}} extend from
> {{LengthFieldBasedFrameDecoder}} and handle the decoding of the frames and
> the objects in there. In the frame creation otherwise done by
> {{LengthFieldBasedFrameDecoder}}, we could use a sliced buffer instead. This
> solution also makes the channel pipelines a bit simpler.
