             Summary: Introduce Buffer abstraction to minimize inline buffer 
size constants, allocation and safe-guards
                 Key: MESOS-2569
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MESOS-2569
             Project: Mesos
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: technical debt
            Reporter: Niklas Quarfot Nielsen
            Priority: Trivial


We tend to have code (mostly in libprocess) like:

{code}
  if (socket.isReady()) {
    // Inform the socket manager for proper bookkeeping.
    socket_manager->accepted(socket.get());

    const size_t size = 80 * 1024;
    char* data = new char[size];
    memset(data, 0, size);
{code}

We can introduce a Buffer abstraction to stout which hides the pointers and 
helps initializing, copying, etc. This should make those buffers less error 
prone too.
