Interface BufferPool

All Known Implementing Classes:

CachingBufferPool, QuiescentBufferPool

public interface BufferPool

Makes various types of buffers available for use and potential re-use.

Implementations must be safe for concurrent use by multiple threads.

ByteBuffer	allocateDirect(int size)	Returns a direct ByteBuffer of size or greater capacity.
void	releaseArray(byte[] buffer)	Returns instance to pool for potential future reuse.
void	releaseDirect(ByteBuffer buffer)	Returns instance to pool for potential future reuse.

Method Details

allocateArray

byte[] allocateArray(int size)

Returns a byte[] of size or greater length.

Parameters:

size - The minimum size array required. Must be >= 0.

Returns:

A byte[] with length of at least size.
