> For future changes to the network buffers (sending our own off-heap buffers through to netty), we cannot use {{HeapMemorySegment}} anymore and need to rely on {{HybridMemorySegment}} instead.
> We should thus drop any code that loads the {{HeapMemorySegment}} (it is still available if needed) in favour of the {{HybridMemorySegment}} which is able to work on both heap and off-heap memory.
> FYI: For the performance penalty of this change compared to using {{HeapMemorySegment}} alone, see this interesting blob article (from 2015):
