Release Note: Ability to limit the capacity of buffers that can be held in the temporary buffer cache

XMLWordPrintable

    • Verified

        The system property `jdk.nio.maxCachedBufferSize` has been introduced in <version> to limit the memory used by the "temporary buffer cache". The temporary buffer cache is a per-thread cache of direct memory used by the NIO implementation to support applications that do I/O with buffers backed by arrays in the java heap. The value of the property is the maximum capacity of a direct buffer that can be cached. If the property is not set then no limit is put on the size of buffers that are cached. Applications with certain patterns of I/O usage may benefit from using this property. In particular if an application does I/O with large multi-megabyte buffers at startup but therefore does I/O with small buffers may see a benefit to using this property. Applications that do I/O using direct buffers will not see any benefit to using this system property.
