------------------------------------------------
Sorry missed these latest questions/comments.
bq. When CellChunkMap is not in use, may be we dont need to keep this id vs
chunk map at all.. How abt we enable this feature iff MSLAB pool is in place?
Just asking
I was infact first thinking we could do this CellChunkMap only if there is pool
enabled so that there is no need for all this chunkCreation and maintenance
overhead. But later as per our discussion it evolved that chunk creations is
there when ever MSLAB is on.
bq.In short, Soft References are used in Java to implement caches and objects
pointed by soft references can be GCed if no other (hard reference) is pointing
to this object.
So the Chunk that is put in the map will have a soft reference?

> For CellChunkMap we may need a cell such that the chunk out of which it was
> created, the id of the chunk be embedded in it so that when doing flattening
> we can use the chunk id as a meta data. More details will follow once the
> initial tasks are completed.
> Why we need to embed the chunkid in the Cell is described by [~anastas] in
> this remark over in parent issue
