> When testing zero-copy in Ozone (stateMachineCache enabled), we saw hundreds
> of thousands of ServerProtocol messages trapped unclosed although the number
> of entries cached in Ozone StateMachine was small (<500). Also, the
> utilization of direct memory by Netty is high and doesn't go down after the
> test run is done.
>
> Turns out, an appendEntries request can contain multiple log entries. Some of
> them can be metadata or configuration entries whose size is small (~10-20
> bytes). Some of them can be StateMachine entries whose size is much bigger
> (4mb).
> Today, when stateMachineCache is enabled, the StateMachine entities stored in
> LogCache don't have a reference count to the original appendEntries, but
> metadata and configuration entries do. Because the size of metadata and
> configuration is small, they will almost never fill up the LogCache to
> trigger a cacheEvict. Their references to the original appendEntries request
> prevent the request buffer from being released when StateMachine cache evicts
> the StateMachine entries.

> When stateMachineCache enabled, the metadata and config entries should not
> hold a reference to the original appendEntries.
> I did a quick test and compared the direct mem util and number of unreleased
> message before and after making the change.
