Buffer Sainity QNA

[Trustin Lee]

Netty provides composite buffers and dynamically growing buffers.  However, they are usually used for heap buffers rather than dynamic buffers.  If you have good control over the life cycle of the direct buffers you allocated, you could write your own ChannelBufferFactory to utilize direct buffers without worrying OOME.
