[zeromq-dev] ByteBuffer API for JZMQ

[Joel Lauener]

Hi Trevor,

What is the purpose of int recvByteBuffer(int flags) ?

Will this be a true 0 copy implementation? Or will the buffer still be copied within the send/receive call? I guess the latest because as far as I understand there is no way to pass ownership of data between Java and Native code.

I'm already looking forward to performance measurement. This looks interesting.

In the next couple of days I will be writing a ByteByffer API for JZMQ I would like to hear the communities thoughts.

I was thinking of something along the lines of:

int sendByteBuffer(ByteBuffer bb, int flags); int recvByteBuffer(ByteBuffer bb, int flags); int recvByteBuffer(int flags);

Implementation seems straightforward enough. Though it really only makes sense to use a Direct ByteBuffer since it's allocated off the heap and can be passed to libzmq without a copy. Otherwise you'd have to copy the underlying byte[].

So does it make sense to only support a direct bytebuffer?

Thoughts?
