Kathey Marsden commented on DERBY-3732:
---------------------------------------

Thanks Mike for looking at the preview patch.

I don't know that we can use skip. The javadoc seems to indicate that skip 
might return -1 even if it hasn't reached the end of the stream.

I am trying to get my head around your statement. "But I think the generic type 
code also has to worry about a datatype that is coming from a user and may be a 
stream. "
What user scenario is this?

I think that probably the best thing to do is only pass through the new code if 
(stream instanceof Resetable), then the non-resetable stream will be 
materialized as beforek,
but again I'd like to understand in what case that would occur. We do seem to 
cover the getValue() case where stream is not an instanceof 
FormatIdInputStream, so we must have a test case for it.

> Which actually is doubly bad because we call getBytes twice and materialize

> It would be good to read the length from the stream if available and 
> otherwise stream the value to get the length, rather than materializing it 
> into memory.
