    public interface BufferManager
    extends StorageManager, TupleBufferCache
    The buffer manager controls how memory is used and how data flows through the system. It uses storage managers to retrieve data, store data, and transfer data. The buffer manager has algorithms that tell it when and how to store data. The buffer manager should also be aware of memory management issues.
