  - buffer
```
ArrowBuf buffer(long size)
```
    Allocate a new or reused buffer of the provided size. Note that the buffer may technically be larger than the requested size for rounding purposes. However, the buffer's capacity will be set to the configured size.
    
    Parameters:
    
    size - The size in bytes.
    
    Returns:
    
    a new ArrowBuf, or null if the request can't be satisfied
    
    Throws:
    
    OutOfMemoryException - if buffer cannot be allocated
  - buffer
```
ArrowBuf buffer(long size,
                BufferManager manager)

    Returns:
    
    the new allocator, or null if it can't be created
  - close
```
void close()
```
    Close and release all buffers generated from this buffer pool.
    When assertions are on, complains if there are any outstanding buffers; to avoid that, release all buffers before the allocator is closed.
    
    Specified by:
    
    close in interface AutoCloseable
  - getAllocatedMemory

    newLimit - The new Limit to apply to allocations
  - getPeakMemoryAllocation
```
long getPeakMemoryAllocation()

    Returns the amount of memory that can probably be allocated at this moment without exceeding this or any parents allocation maximum.
    
    Returns:
    
    Headroom in bytes
  - forceAllocate
```
boolean forceAllocate(long size)
```
    Forcibly allocate bytes. Returns whether the allocation fit within limits.
    
    Parameters:
    
    size - to increase
    
    Returns:
    
    Whether the allocation fit within limits.
  - releaseBytes
```
void releaseBytes(long size)
```
    Release bytes from this allocator.
    
    Parameters:
    
    size - to release
  - getListener
```
AllocationListener getListener()
```
    Returns the allocation listener used by this allocator.
    
    Returns:
    
    the AllocationListener instance. Or AllocationListener.NOOP by default if no listener is configured when this allocator was created.
  - getParentAllocator
```
BufferAllocator getParentAllocator()

    Returns the parent allocator.
    
    Returns:
    
    parent allocator
  - getChildAllocators
```
Collection<BufferAllocator> getChildAllocators()

    Returns the set of child allocators.
    
    Returns:
    
    set of child allocators
  - newReservation
```
AllocationReservation newReservation()
```
    Create an allocation reservation. A reservation is a way of building up a request for a buffer whose size is not known in advance. See
    
    Returns:
    
    the newly created reservation
    
    See Also:
    
    AllocationReservation
  - getEmpty
```
ArrowBuf getEmpty()
```
    Get a reference to the empty buffer associated with this allocator. Empty buffers are special because we don't worry about them leaking or managing reference counts on them since they don't actually point to any memory.
    
    Returns:
    
    the empty buffer
  - getName
```
String getName()
```
    Return the name of this allocator. This is a human readable name that can help debugging. Typically provides coordinates about where this allocator was created
    
    Returns:
    
    the name of the allocator
  - isOverLimit
```
boolean isOverLimit()
```
    Return whether or not this allocator (or one if its parents) is over its limits. In the case that an allocator is over its limit, all consumers of that allocator should aggressively try to address the overlimit situation.
    
    Returns:
    
    whether or not this allocator (or one if its parents) is over its limits
  - toVerboseString
```
String toVerboseString()
```
    Return a verbose string describing this allocator. If in DEBUG mode, this will also include relevant stacktraces and historical logs for underlying objects
    
    Returns:
    
    A very verbose description of the allocator hierarchy.
  - assertOpen
```
void assertOpen()
```
    Asserts (using java assertions) that the provided allocator is currently open. If assertions are disabled, this is a no-op.
