Java DirectByteBuffer and OOM

[Biju G.S Nair]

Thanks Andrew for the response.

Hi JDK8 development team,
     Could you please back port and merge the patch
https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-6857566 in JDK 8. This will help
in resolving OOM issues in our applications which is using
DirectByteBuffer. This will also help the JDK 7 dev team to merge the patch
into their code base and that is the version we are using.

Thanks,
Biju



Thanks,
Biju
