ByteBuf wrapping native memory address

[Tomasz Kowalczewski]

Hi,

I was unable to find a method for ByteBuf to wrap already allocated native memory pointer (e.g. using Unsafe.allocateMemory). Was addition of such method considered? 

My specific use case if when using Unsafe/DirectBuffers from Agrona and interfacing with Aeron. At some point, I want to pass data to Netty based client.

Regards,

We not have such a method yet. That said I think we could add it.

Want to open an issue or even doing a PR ? This should go into Unpooled I think :)
