Jean-Daniel Cryans commented on HBASE-21874:
--------------------------------------------
Hi Ram. Two questions:
- Why add the configurable buffer size? That seems to be what most of the patch
is about which is distracting.
- You say that the patch doesn't make use of the persistent nature of the
device, but PmemIOEngine extends FileMmapEngine which advertises itself as
persistent so it does a few other things on top. I might be confused about what
it implies but this is also confusing :)

> Non volatile persistent memory devices are byte addressable like DRAM (for
> eg. Intel DCPMM). Bucket cache implementation can take advantage of this new
> memory type and can make use of the existing offheap data structures to serve
> data directly from this memory area without having to bring the data to
> onheap.
> The patch is a new IOEngine implementation that works with the persistent
> memory.
> Note : Here we don't make use of the persistence nature of the device and
> just make use of the big memory it provides.
> Performance numbers to follow.
