> KryoSerializer uses a ThreadLocal object to store a kryo buffer, which is never cleaned up.
> This becomes a serious problem in projects like Shark, where new threads are created constantly by the thrift server. As long as the new thread references the kryo serializer, it will create a new kryo buffer.
> A simple solution is to remove the ThreadLocal reference, and create a new buffer object every time a new kryo serializer instance is created.
> This is not very expensive because large writes actually go through the serialization stream interface, which reuse the buffer anyway.
