Description

A bounded alternative to TMemoryBuffer that uses java.nio.ByteBuffer under the hood.

This is useful both to set sane constraints on maximum message size in a transport-agnostic manner but also because direct buffers can be used to serialize Thrift off-heap, avoiding allocations (thus reducing GC frequency and potentially live set size)
