> In org.apache.hadoop.io.Text:clear() method, the comments show that we can
> free the bytes by call set(new byte[0]), but it's not going to work now.

> * <em>Note</em>: For performance reasons, this call does not clear the
> * underlying byte array that is retrievable via {@link #getBytes()}.
> * In order to free the byte-array memory, call {@link #set(byte[])}
> * with an empty byte array (For example, <code>new byte[0]</code>).
