> Many of the WAN DUnit tests are run with both off-heap disabled and enabled.  However, there is an optimization in the off-heap implementation where if the entry value is less than 8-bytes, off-heap is bypassed and the value is put on the heap.  This is due to the value being equal to or less than the size of the off-heap address that would have been used.  It is therefore pointless to use off-heap if the value itself is less than the size of the address.
> In many WAN tests we are using longs as values, which will bypass off-heap in this way.  However, it is expected that off-heap is being exercised.  We should instead use another data type (strings) as values to be sure that the off-heap feature is actually being exercised.
