             Summary: Make RPC layer CellBlock buffer a DirectByteBuffer
                 Key: HBASE-13819
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-13819
             Project: HBase
          Issue Type: Sub-task
            Reporter: Anoop Sam John
            Assignee: Anoop Sam John
             Fix For: 2.0.0


In RPC layer, when we make a cellBlock to put as RPC payload, we will make an on heap byte buffer (via BoundedByteBufferPool). The pool will keep upto certain number of buffers. This jira aims at testing possibility for making this buffers off heap ones. (DBB)  The advantages
1. Unsafe based writes to off heap is faster than that to on heap. Now we are not using unsafe based writes at all. Even if we add, DBB will be better
2. When Cells are backed by off heap (HBASE-11425) off heap to off heap writes will be better
3. When checked the code in SocketChannel impl, if we pass a HeapByteBuffer to the socket channel, it will create a temp DBB and copy data to there and only DBBs will be moved to Sockets. If we make DBB 1st hand itself, we can  avoid this one more level of copying.

Will do different perf testing with changed and report back.
