The changes to support large buffers is not in the repository or javadoc 
yet. The integration point in the original draft (which I suspect you 
are thinking of) was via methods that provide a view of the big buffer 
in terms of the existing Buffer classes. It has been lower priority 
compared to the other items on our list. We also need more feedback in 
this area from folks needing huge containers outside of the java heap.
