bq.block buf refer the offheap memory? So in the read path, the Cells will
refer to this memory?
Yes, that's what I'm suggesting.

So we have to make sure the read path having Cell flowing through. (I think
this is mostly done)
And the Cell should be supported being backed by BB. (offheap) We will need new
comparators.
The Cell interface is having get***Array() APIs which return byte[]. We use
them for the compare. When the Cells are backed by BB, calling these APIs will
need us to create temp byte[] objects and copying. Need ways to solve this.

> One way to realize the parent issue is to just enable bucket cache all the
> time; i.e. always have offheap enabled. Would have to do some work to make
> it drop-dead simple on initial setup (I think it doable).
> So, upside would be the offheap upsides (less GC, less likely to go away and
> never come back because of full GC when heap is large, etc.).
> Downside is higher latency. In Nick's BlockCache 101 there is little to no
> difference between onheap and offheap. In a basic compare doing scans and
> gets -- details to follow -- I have BucketCache deploy about 20% less ops
> than LRUBC when all incache and maybe 10% less ops when falling out of cache.
> I can't tell difference in means and 95th and 99th are roughly same (more
> stable with BucketCache). GC profile is much better with BucketCache -- way
> less. BucketCache uses about 7% more user CPU.
> More detail on comparison to follow.
> I think the numbers disagree enough we should probably do the [~lhofhansl]
> suggestion, that we allow you to have a table sit in LRUBC, something the
> current bucket cache layout does not do.
