[jira] [Commented] (CASSANDRA-13789) Reduce memory copies and object creations when acting on ByteBufs

Jason Brown commented on CASSANDRA-13789:
-----------------------------------------

Pushed a fix here:

The problem was in [~norman]'s patch, in both {{CBUtil#writeString}} and {{CBUtil#writeLongString}} he was bumping the writerIndex via {{ByteBuf#writerIndex(int)}}. The problem is that if the new writerIndex value exceeds the capacity of the buffer it throws an {{IndexOutOfBoundsException}}. Previously, we were calling {{ByteBuf#writeShort}} or {{ByteBuf#writeLong}}, which reallocates the buffer if the new writerIndex is larger than the current size.

For now, I've reverted to calling {{ByteBuf#writeShort}} (or {{ByteBuf#writeLong}}), to restore previous behavior (that passes!), and I've added a new {{CBUtilTest}}, as well.

As a further optimization, we can find out why the {{ByteBuf}} is being reallocated to begin with, but that's for another jira.

> There are multiple "low-hanging-fruits" when it comes to reduce memory copies and object allocations when acting on ByteBufs.
