[infinispan-dev] Double+ buffering during value marshalling

While debugging around the Infinispan/JBMar integration I noticed that Infinispan defines in-memory buffers wrapped as byte streams, and uses JBoss Marshaller to write to these. JBoss Marshaller also buffers writes, and flushes when needed or on demand; I did already know of both, but just realized that these two levels of buffering are both applied when serializing instances in a org.infinispan.marshall.MarshalledValue; I guess we could do better avoiding buffering and have JBMAR write straight away? It would also mean less array resizing, as we are often able to allocate the right size in one shot. I gave a look into RiverMarshaller, and this didn't look like a simple task as _byte[] buffer_ is the main element around which most of the code revolves (in it's superclass SimpleDataOutput). I'm wondering if SimpleDataOutput wouldn't be simpler by just writing to a org.jboss.marshalling.ByteOutput (and have an optional buffering implementation), or if Infinispan should use River in a different way.
