on Direct path loads.
Rajeshwaran, Jeyabal, April 30, 2019 - 11:36 am UTC
Also please look into this optimizer blog post, where the optimizer Product manager have gone through the flavors of Direct path loads (like High water mark loading, temp segment merging, high water mark brokering, Hybrid (temp segment merging/high water mark brokering) ) in detail along with how the segment space got managed during each of these operations.
hope this helps.

Thanks Tom for your response.
Is there anything like buffer cache flooding. If yes, what causes this and how to avoid this.

Since we changed the way the buffer cache is managed in 8.1, I can't recall a time or scenario where this is possible.
