    Hi, I have a question about assert, because I found that assertion is 
disabled in java by default. why not use explicit 
`synchronized(availableMemorySegments)` which may be more common usage.

> Currently, the number of network buffer per task manager is preconfigured and 
> the memory is pre-allocated through taskmanager.network.numberOfBuffers 
> config. In a Job DAG with shuffle phase, this number can go up very high 
> depends on the TM cluster size. The formula for calculating the buffer count 
> is documented here 
> (https://ci.apache.org/projects/flink/flink-docs-master/setup/config.html#configuring-the-network-buffers).
>   
> #slots-per-TM^2 * #TMs * 4
> In a standalone deployment, we may need to control the task manager cluster 
> size dynamically and then leverage the up-coming Flink feature to support 
> scaling job parallelism/rescaling at runtime. 
> If the buffer count config is static at runtime and cannot be changed without 
> restarting task manager process, this may add latency and complexity for 
> scaling process. I am wondering if there is already any discussion around 
> whether the network buffer should be automatically managed by Flink or at 
> least expose some API to allow it to be reconfigured. Let me know if there is 
> any existing JIRA that I should follow.
