Out-of-heap data container implementation
-----------------------------------------

                 Key: ISPN-871
                 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/ISPN-871
             Project: Infinispan
          Issue Type: Feature Request
          Components: Core API
            Reporter: Manik Surtani
            Assignee: Manik Surtani
             Fix For: 5.1.0.BETA1, 5.1.0.Final


The DataContainer interface could be implemented using a off-heap impl in C, using mmap.  It would require custom memory management (gc-lite?) to reclaim free space, as well as reimplementing of eviction algorithms to maintain the contract of a self-sizing data container, but the benefits of this would be the ability to address very large amounts of memory with minimal gc overhead from the JVM.
