Is ByteBuffer slow?
It’s a well known fact that direct bytebuffer allocation is much slower than non direct byte buffers. If you think about it when you allocate a non direct byte buffer then it basically just needs to dereference a pointer to some memory on the Java heap, which is very quick.
What is ByteBuffer Java?
Java provides a class ByteBuffer which is an abstraction of a buffer storing bytes. A ByteBuffer operates on a FileChannel which is a byte channel which has a current position. The FileChannel provides methods for reading from and writing to ByteBuffers.
What is direct byte buffer?
A direct buffer is a chunk of native memory shared with Java from which you can perform a direct read. An instance of DirectByteBuffer can be created using the ByteBuffer. allocateDirect() factory method.
What is direct memory in Java?
The direct buffer memory is the OS’ native memory, which is used by the JVM process, not in the JVM heap. It is used by Java NIO to quickly write data to network or disk; no need to copy between JVM heap and native memory.
How do I get data from ByteBuffer?
In order to get the byte array from ByteBuffer just call the ByteBuffer. array() method. This method will return the backed array. Now you can call the String constructor which accepts a byte array and character encoding to create String.
How can I get free ByteBuffer?
There is no way to free a buffer explicitly (without JVM specific reflection). Buffer objects are subject to GC and it usually takes two GC cycles to free the off-heap memory after the buffer object becomes unreachable.
How do I fix Java Lang OutOfMemoryError direct buffer memory?
OutOfMemoryError: Direct buffer memory is increasing JVM default memory limit. By default, JVM allows 64MB for direct buffer memory, you can increase it by using JVM option -XX:MaxDirectMemorySize=512m. That’s all on How to fix java.
