I think the name readBytes is not very informative and the name is

we can not use readFully (from DataInput/DataInputStream) because
instead of returning the number of bytes read, it throws a
EOFException if the end of the stream is reached.
so what about readAllBytes ?
(There is also a readAllBytes in java.nio.file.Files that has an
equivalent semantics).
For pure convenience then a readAllBytes() that returns a byte[] would
be useful. It avoids all the issues around short reads too, and of
course easy to specify that the input stream would be left in an
inconsistent state if there are any exceptions thrown.
you mean readAllBytes on Files or readAllBytes on InputStream ?
