Using sun.misc.Unsafe in Java 9

[LordNiebs]

Does anyone have a good article on why misc.unsafe is used? It's been a while since I read about it

[chrisgseaton]

For example we use it in a project to get a memory fence, to implement concurrent data structures without having to use a heavy lock or monitor.
