@Internal
public final class MemorySegment
extends Object
```
This class represents a piece of memory managed by Flink.
The memory can be on-heap, off-heap direct or off-heap unsafe. This is transparently handled by this class.
This class fulfills conceptually a similar purpose as Java's ByteBuffer. We add this specialized class for various reasons:
- It offers additional binary compare, swap, and copy methods.
- It uses collapsed checks for range check and memory segment disposal.
- It offers absolute positioning methods for bulk put/get methods, to guarantee thread safe use.
- It offers explicit big-endian / little-endian access methods, rather than tracking internally a byte order.
- It transparently and efficiently moves data between on-heap and off-heap variants.
Comments on the implementation: We make heavy use of operations that are supported by native instructions, to achieve a high efficiency. Multi byte types (int, long, float, double, ...) are read and written with "unsafe" native commands.
Note on efficiency: For best efficiency, we do not separate implementations of different memory types with inheritance, to avoid the overhead from looking for concrete implementations on invocations of abstract methods.

public int getInt(int index)
```
    Reads an int value (32bit, 4 bytes) from the given position, in the system's native byte order. This method offers the best speed for integer reading and should be used unless a specific byte order is required. In most cases, it suffices to know that the byte order in which the value is written is the same as the one in which it is read (such as transient storage in memory, or serialization for I/O and network), making this method the preferable choice.
    
    Parameters:
    
    index - The position from which the value will be read.
    
    Returns:
    
    The int value at the given position.
    
    Throws:
    
    IndexOutOfBoundsException - Thrown, if the index is negative, or larger than the segment size minus 4.
  - getIntLittleEndian
```
public int getIntLittleEndian(int index)
```
    Reads an int value (32bit, 4 bytes) from the given position, in little-endian byte order. This method's speed depends on the system's native byte order, and it is possibly slower than getInt(int). For most cases (such as transient storage in memory or serialization for I/O and network), it suffices to know that the byte order in which the value is written is the same as the one in which it is read, and getInt(int) is the preferable choice.
    
    Parameters:
    
    index - The position from which the value will be read.
    
    Returns:
    
    The int value at the given position.
    
    Throws:
    
    IndexOutOfBoundsException - Thrown, if the index is negative, or larger than the segment size minus 4.
  - getIntBigEndian
```

```
    Compares two memory segment regions.
    
    Parameters:
    
    seg2 - Segment to compare this segment with
    
    offset1 - Offset of this segment to start comparing
    
    offset2 - Offset of seg2 to start comparing
    
    len - Length of the compared memory region
    
    Returns:
    
    0 if equal, -1 if seg1 < seg2, 1 otherwise
  - compare
```
public int compare(MemorySegment seg2,
                   int offset1,

                   int len2)
```
    Compares two memory segment regions with different length.
    
    Parameters:
    
    seg2 - Segment to compare this segment with
    
    offset1 - Offset of this segment to start comparing
    
    offset2 - Offset of seg2 to start comparing
    
    len1 - Length of this memory region to compare
    
    len2 - Length of seg2 to compare

    0 if equal, -1 if seg1 < seg2, 1 otherwise
  - swapBytes
```
public void swapBytes(byte[] tempBuffer,
                      MemorySegment seg2,
                      int offset1,
                      int offset2,
                      int len)
```
    Swaps bytes between two memory segments, using the given auxiliary buffer.
    
    Parameters:
    
    tempBuffer - The auxiliary buffer in which to put data during triangle swap.
    
    seg2 - Segment to swap bytes with
    
    offset1 - Offset of this segment to start swapping
    
    offset2 - Offset of seg2 to start swapping
    
    len - Length of the swapped memory region
  - equalTo
```
public boolean equalTo(MemorySegment seg2,
                       int offset1,
                       int offset2,
                       int length)
```
    Equals two memory segment regions.
    
    Parameters:
    
    seg2 - Segment to equal this segment with
    
    offset1 - Offset of this segment to start equaling
    
    offset2 - Offset of seg2 to start equaling
    
    length - Length of the equaled memory region
    
    Returns:
    
    true if equal, false otherwise
  - getHeapMemory
```
public byte[] getHeapMemory()
```
    Get the heap byte array object.
    
    Returns:
    
    Return non-null if the memory is on the heap, and return null if the memory if off the heap.
  - processAsByteBuffer
```
public <T> T processAsByteBuffer(java.util.function.Function<ByteBuffer,T> processFunction)
```
    Applies the given process function on a ByteBuffer that represents this entire segment.
    Note: The ByteBuffer passed into the process function is temporary and could become invalid after the processing. Thus, the process function should not try to keep any reference of the ByteBuffer.
    
    Parameters:
    
    processFunction - to be applied to the segment as ByteBuffer.
    
    Returns:
    
    the value that the process function returns.
  - processAsByteBuffer
```
public void processAsByteBuffer(java.util.function.Consumer<ByteBuffer> processConsumer)
```
    Supplies a ByteBuffer that represents this entire segment to the given process consumer.
    Note: The ByteBuffer passed into the process consumer is temporary and could become invalid after the processing. Thus, the process consumer should not try to keep any reference of the ByteBuffer.
    
    Parameters:
    
    processConsumer - to accept the segment as ByteBuffer.
