Why MappedByteBuffer Beats FileChannel (And When It Doesn’t) – Deep Linux Kernel Insights

This article examines the internal read/write mechanisms of Java's FileChannel and MappedByteBuffer on Linux kernel 5.4, compares their performance through detailed source analysis and benchmarks, and explains why MappedByteBuffer often outperforms FileChannel for small I/O but can be overtaken for larger transfers due to page‑fault and dirty‑page handling.

Zero‑Copy Techniques in Java: Buffers, MappedByteBuffer, Sendfile, and Netty

This article explains the concept of zero‑copy, how it eliminates redundant data copying in I/O operations, and demonstrates its implementation in Java through buffers, mmap+write, Sendfile, MappedByteBuffer, DirectByteBuffer, channel‑to‑channel transfers, and Netty’s composite buffers.

Understanding Zero‑Copy in Java I/O, NIO, Netty and Messaging Systems

This article explains the concept of zero‑copy, its benefits for I/O performance, and how Java NIO, Netty, Kafka, RocketMQ and related APIs such as mmap+write and sendfile implement zero‑copy to avoid unnecessary data copying between kernel and user space.

Implementing Chunked and Resumable File Upload with Fast Upload (秒传) in Java

This article explains how to implement fast (MD5‑based) upload, chunked upload, and resumable (break‑point) upload for large files in Java, detailing the Redis‑based status tracking, server‑side file handling with RandomAccessFile or MappedByteBuffer, and the required front‑end and back‑end coordination.

Mastering Large File Uploads: Instant, Chunked, and Resumable Strategies in Java

This article explains why simple byte‑stream uploads fail for large files and introduces three robust solutions—instant (hash‑based) upload, chunked (slice) upload, and resumable upload—detailing their core logic, Redis tracking, and Java implementations using RandomAccessFile and MappedByteBuffer, plus practical code snippets.
