Zhihong Yu commented on HBASE-5347:
-----------------------------------
I think we can introduce a new config parameter called
'hbase.filter.auto.refcount' e.g.
If the value of this config is true (default), we use procedure described @
22/Feb/12 23:02
If the value is false, we assume (with good release notes of course) the filter
writer is fully aware of what he/she is doing.

> On eviction of a block from the block-cache, instead of waiting for the
> garbage collecter to reuse its memory, reuse the block right away.
> This will require us to keep reference counts on the HFile blocks. Once we
> have the reference counts in place we can do our own simple
> blocks-out-of-slab allocation for the block-cache.
> This will help us with
> * reducing gc pressure, especially in the old generation
> * making it possible to have non-java-heap memory backing the HFile blocks
