Can we measure how many those empty buffers are being sent? Is this an issue of 0.1% more messages or 50%? If it's hard to say or can vary, would it be difficult/would it complicate the code to send the empty buffers only if `#exclusiveBuffers == 0` to make sure that there is no performance regression? -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
