ramkrishna.s.vasudevan commented on HBASE-19506:
------------------------------------------------
bq.As for solution, we suggest to create another pool for "small" chunks in
ChunkCreator. Let's say chunks of 256KB size.
Yes. Idea is right. Index chunk pool and data chunk pool will be there. How to
ensure we don't run out of space in this index chunk pool?
> Support variable sized chunks from ChunkCreator

> When CellChunkMap is created it allocates a special index chunk (or chunks)
> where array of cell-representations is stored. When the number of
> cell-representations is small, it is preferable to allocate a chunk smaller
> than a default value which is 2MB.
> On the other hand, those "non-standard size" chunks can not be used in pool.
> On-demand allocations in off-heap are costly. So this JIRA is about to
> investigate the trade of between memory usage and the final performance.
