- Change DirectBufferPool constructor to take ByteBuffer
- Moved enableDirectBufferQueries() to public FDB class.
- Handle the edge case in resize() when called in middle of oudstanding queries.
- Don't count space need to store all KV pairs in JNI.
This patch keeps a batch of Java's DirectBuffers, which can be shared with JNI C
world. This means:
1. No need for JNI wrapper to make several JNI calls, to allocate and convert
Java objectd to bytes.
2. We already made a PR #3582 to reduce 3 JNI calls for each getRange() i.e. to
fetch summary and then results. As mentioned in that PR, this patch also
makes similar decision to make `getDirectRange()` call synchronous and
instead schedule it asynchronously in Java executor.
3. No need for JNI to dynamically allocate buffers to store KVs.
4. Use one big DirectBuffer to make request and get reponse. `DirectBuffers` give
direct access to the memory, and are much fast than the regular non-direct
buffers we use.
5. We keep a pool of reasonably big DirectBuffers, which are borrowed and
returned by `getRange()` requests.
The downside to this are:
1. We have to manually and "carefully" serialize and deserialize the
request/response both in C and Java world. It is no longer high-level Java
objects.
2. Because `DirectBuffers` are expensive, we can only keep a few of them, which
number of outstanding `getRange()` requests are limited by that.
3. Each request, currently uses 2 buffers, one for current chunk and one for
outstanding request.
4. The performance bump seems to be excellent for bigger key-values. We didn't
observe significant difference for smaller KV sizes (I can't say its better
or worse, as from quick glance it didn't look statistically significant to me).
Performance is currently measured using `PerformanceTester.java`, which measures
throughput for several operations. The results are:

NOTE: These tests were run on a shared VM. Benchmark in each group was run
serially, and the groups themselves run at different times. Therefore there
might be some skew based on load, but the difference is compelling enough to
show that there is performance benefit for larger KV.
RangeQuery makes getSummary() and getResult() JNI calls, which are redundant in
nature. This patch combines them into single call.
This reduce 3 JNI to 2 JNI calls. Next logical step is to remove the 2nd JNI
call, i.e. getResults() after getRange() which is slighly more convoluted
because C API doesn't allow primitives to compose new Futures.
Finally got vscode to understand the java bindings.
Adding this to .vscode/settings.json did the trick
