> 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.
