> We need a provide away for clients to disable Unsafe package usage .
> Currently there is no way for clients to specify that they don't want to use
> Unsafe conversion for Bytes conversion.
> As a result there could be some issues with missing methods of Unsafe when
> client is on JDK 11 . So the clients can disable Unsafe package use and use
> normal conversion if they want to.
> Also we use static references to Unsafe Availability in Bytes class assuming
> that the Unsafe availability is set during class loading and no one can ever
> override it later. Now that we plan to expose a util for clients to override
> the availability if required, we need to avoid the static references for
> computing the availability whenever we do the comparisions
