This is a Singleton class that allows you to allocate buffer that are stored in ThreadLocal. This class stores 3 types of char buffers - small (< 128 bytes), medium (<2K) and large (> 2K) as well as three byte buffers - small, medium and large. The local storage is activated on the return of the buffer. The buffer returns null if it is already allocated.
