gaoyunhaii opened a new pull request #13272: URL: https://github.com/apache/flink/pull/13272
## What is the purpose of the change This PR modifies the `NettyBufferPool` to also allocate direct buffers for the heap buffer request. This enables us not to change the memory footprint when upgrade Netty to 4.1.50-FINAL. In the future we could further decide how to adjust the Netty memory management. ## Brief change log - 3ef9f728f6a8005a7f91846bf32df96ee718c626 returns direct buffers for all the heap buffer allocation methods. ## Verifying this change This change is a trivial rework / code cleanup without any test coverage. ## Does this pull request potentially affect one of the following parts: - Dependencies (does it add or upgrade a dependency): **no** - The public API, i.e., is any changed class annotated with `@Public(Evolving)`: **no** - The serializers: **no** - The runtime per-record code paths (performance sensitive): **no** - Anything that affects deployment or recovery: JobManager (and its components), Checkpointing, Kubernetes/Yarn/Mesos, ZooKeeper: **no** - The S3 file system connector: **no** ## Documentation - Does this pull request introduce a new feature? **no** - If yes, how is the feature documented? **not applicable** ---------------------------------------------------------------- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
