[jboss-jira] [JBoss JIRA] (JGRP-1989) Bundlers: reuse send buffer when transport == sync.

Dan Berindei commented on JGRP-1989:
------------------------------------

[~sannegrinovero] I don't agree that most of the messages are large (or that the size is predictable at all). In Infinispan, we send *a lot* of small messages, e.g. a remote get command only contains a small key, or the response might be just a few bytes to indicate the operation is successful.

> With the addition of {{TCP_NIO2}}, all bundlers now create new send buffers for every message (or message list). This generates a lot of memory allocations, perhaps it is better to revert this change for *synchronous transports* such as {{UDP}} and {{TCP}}, and still create new buffers for *asynchronous transports* such as {{TCP_NIO2}}.
> Synchronous transports guarantee a message has been put on the wire when {{TP.send()}} returns, whereas asynchronous transports may only have completed a partial write (so we cannot reuse the buffer).
> The code in the bundler should check for this, and copy if async or not copy if sync.
> Whether or not a transport is sync is determined by a new abstract method that needs to be overridden by every transport.
