> BufferPool manages several pools of direct-memory ByteBuffers. When asked
> for a ByteBuffer of size X you may receive a buffer that is any size greater
> than or equal to X. For users of this pool this is unexpected behavior and
> is causing some trouble.
> MessageStreamer, for instance, performs message "chunking" based on the size
> of a socket's buffer size. It requests a byte buffer of that size and then
> fills it over and over again with message chunks to be written to the socket.
> But it does this based on the buffer's capacity, which may be much larger
> than the expected buffer size. This results in incorrect chunking and
> requires larger buffers in the receiver of these message chunks.
> BufferPool should always return a buffer that has exactly the requested
> capacity. It could be a _slice_ of a pooled buffer, for instance. That
> would let it hand out a larger buffer while not confusing the code that
> requested the buffer.
