Annotation Based Off Heap Allocators

[sirinath]

Is it possible to provide a easy way to do off heap allocations

E.g

@GGOffHeap
MyObj obj = new MyObj()

Will allocate this on off heap.

Also you should be able to specify automatic resource management options. E.g.

@GGOffHeap(ARM=ARMOption.BlockExit)
@GGOffHeap(ARM=ARMOption.EndOfBlock)
@GGOffHeap(ARM=ARMOption.MethodReturn)
@GGOffHeap(ARM=ARMOption.ReferenceCounted)
@GGOffHeap(ARM=ARMOption.ResouceManager, resourceManage = ...) // resource manager can manage the off heap allocation. Could be modeled as something like the resource manager in the Project Grizzly

Any other way to make off heap allocation simple and boilerplate free is welcome.

OffHeap allocation in GridGain is as easy as specifying GridCacheMemoryMode.OFFHEAP_TIERED configuration parameter. Objects that are not used on-heap get automatically LRU'ed to off-heap.

OK. Great.
