--------------------------------------

Alternatively use a pure-java solution based on Direct ByteByffers:

> The {{DataContainer}} interface could be implemented using a off-heap impl in C, using a wrapper around [TBB|http://threadingbuildingblocks.org/]'s concurrent hashmap.
> Cheap and easy way, no memory management needed, at worst case same performance as the Java CHM-like impl of the data container + some JNI overhead.  Potential benefit of large data heaps.
