deepankar commented on HBASE-13819:
-----------------------------------
bq. What you think of Anoop's idea of the BB being allocated onheap rather than
offheap if we can't get it from the pool? The allocation would be faster...
I feel both onheap / offheap allocation could suffer from the same problem as
long as we are not tight in the allocation (with less wastage compared to the
anticipated response), as an example we somewhat made this error rare by
increasing the MaxDirectMemory to a higher value, but in the onheap case also
if a user allocated his memory by tightly accounting stuff he could may as well
face the issue of unnecessary GCs I think.
bq. deepankar Would you mind opening a new issue describing how you would like
this to work?
created a jira HBASE-15525, we would definitely help in whatever way we can on
this.

> In RPC layer, when we make a cellBlock to put as RPC payload, we will make an
> on heap byte buffer (via BoundedByteBufferPool). The pool will keep upto
> certain number of buffers. This jira aims at testing possibility for making
> this buffers off heap ones. (DBB) The advantages
> 1. Unsafe based writes to off heap is faster than that to on heap. Now we are
> not using unsafe based writes at all. Even if we add, DBB will be better
> 2. When Cells are backed by off heap (HBASE-11425) off heap to off heap
> writes will be better
> 3. When checked the code in SocketChannel impl, if we pass a HeapByteBuffer
> to the socket channel, it will create a temp DBB and copy data to there and
> only DBBs will be moved to Sockets. If we make DBB 1st hand itself, we can
> avoid this one more level of copying.
> Will do different perf testing with changed and report back.
