> I don't have a benchmark to support this, but this should give a small CPU improvement on the map output buffer: currently, we create {{kvmeta}} as {{ByteBuffer.wrap(kvbuffer).asIntBuffer()}}. According to the javadocs, the resulting int buffer will inherit its byte order from the ByteBuffer it comes from, and the byte buffer defaults to BIG_ENDIAN. Thus, all of our int access to/from the buffer will require byte-swapping.
