----------------------------------------

             Summary: Avoid buffer copy in DeflateCodec.compress and decompress
                 Key: AVRO-1818
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AVRO-1818
             Project: Avro
          Issue Type: Improvement
            Reporter: Rohini Palaniswamy


One of our jobs reading avro hit OOM due to the buffer copy in compress and 
decompress methods which is very inefficient. 

https://github.com/apache/avro/blob/master/lang/java/avro/src/main/java/org/apache/avro/file/DeflateCodec.java#L71-L86

{code}
java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Java heap space
        at java.util.Arrays.copyOf(Arrays.java:3236)
        at 
java.io.ByteArrayOutputStream.toByteArray(ByteArrayOutputStream.java:191)
        at org.apache.avro.file.DeflateCodec.decompress(DeflateCodec.java:84)
{code}



I would suggest using a class that extends ByteArrrayOutputStream like 
https://github.com/apache/hadoop/blob/trunk/hadoop-common-project/hadoop-common/src/main/java/org/apache/hadoop/io/DataOutputBuffer.java#L51-L53

and do
ByteBuffer result = ByteBuffer.wrap(buf.getData(), 0, buf.getLength());
