>
> Many of the WAN DUnit tests are run with both off-heap disabled and enabled.
> However, there is an optimization in the off-heap implementation where if the
> entry value is less than 8-bytes, off-heap is bypassed and the value is put
> on the heap. This is due to the value being equal to or less than the size
> of the off-heap address that would have been used. It is therefore pointless
> to use off-heap if the value itself is less than the size of the address.
> In many WAN tests we are using longs as values, which will bypass off-heap in
> this way. However, it is expected that off-heap is being exercised. We
> should instead use another data type (strings) as values to be sure that the
> off-heap feature is actually being exercised.
