/**
* ByteArrayPool is a source and repository of byte[]
objects. Its purpose is to
* supply those buffers to consumers who need to use them for a short period of time and then
* dispose of them. Simply creating and disposing such buffers in the conventional manner can
* considerable heap churn and garbage collection delays on Android, which lacks good management of
* short-lived heap objects. It may be advantageous to trade off some memory in the form of a
* permanently allocated pool of buffers in order to gain heap performance improvements; that is
* what this class does.
*
* A good candidate user for this class is something like an I/O system that uses large temporary
* byte[]
buffers to copy data around. In these use cases, often the consumer wants
* the buffer to be a certain minimum size to ensure good performance (e.g. when copying data chunks
* off of a stream), but doesn't mind if the buffer is larger than the minimum. Taking this into
* account and also to maximize the odds of being able to reuse a recycled buffer, this class is
* free to return buffers larger than the requested size. The caller needs to be able to gracefully
* deal with getting buffers any size over the minimum.
*
* If there is not a suitably-sized buffer in its recycling pool when a buffer is requested, this * class will allocate a new buffer and return it. *
* This class has no special ownership of buffers it creates; the caller is free to take a buffer * it receives from this pool, use it permanently, and never return it to the pool; additionally, * it is not harmful to return to this pool a buffer that was allocated elsewhere, provided there * are no other lingering references to it. *
* This class ensures that the total size of the buffers in its recycling pool never exceeds a
* certain byte limit. When a buffer is returned that would cause the pool to exceed the limit,
* least-recently-used buffers are disposed.
