Description

When building trunk with Java11 building javadoc fails with this error:

[javadoc] /repos/tmp/cassandra/src/java/org/apache/cassandra/hints/HintsBufferPool.java:28: error: package sun.nio.ch is not visible
[javadoc] import sun.nio.ch.DirectBuffer;
[javadoc] ^
[javadoc] (package sun.nio.ch is declared in module java.base, which does not export it to the unnamed module)
[javadoc] 1 error

This import is unused and was probably added by mistake, removing it fixes the problem.
