<para>The default for this value is too high when running on a highly trafficed HBase.
In HBase, if this value has not been set, we set it down from the default of 1M to 128k
(Since HBase 0.98.0 and 0.96.1). See <link xlink:href="https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-8143">HBASE-8143 HBase on Hadoop 2 with local short circuit reads (ssr) causes OOM</link>).
The Hadoop DFSClient in HBase will allocate a direct byte buffer of this size for <emphasis>each</emphasis>
block it has open; given HBase keeps its HDFS files open all the time, this can add up quickly.</para>
