[jira] [Commented] (BOOKKEEPER-578) LedgerCacheImpl is reserving
1/3 of Heap size but allocates NonHeap memory
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BOOKKEEPER-578?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13588051#comment-13588051 ]

--------------------------------------
[~merlimat] I think using allocateDirect is for performance consideration. You could check http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5670862/bytebuffer-allocate-vs-bytebuffer-allocatedirect

> By default the page limit parameter is set to -1, which means to assign 1/3 of Heap space to the LedgerCache. Each LedgerEntryPage is then allocating the memory outside the heap (ByteBuffer.allocateDirect()).
> This makes BK to use more memory than the -XmxNN configured setting. Is there any particular reason for the LedgerEntryPage buffer to be allocated outside the java heap? Could that be changed?
