Description

If you persist a region with off-heap=false and then shutdown; change your region config to off-heap=true; and then recover the persistent region it should end up stored off-heap.

Or if you start off-heap=true and then switch to off-heap=false you then the region should end up using heap memory.

But what is happening is that the old configuration is used for the storage and the data does not get converted to the new type of storage.
