Uwe Schindler commented on LUCENE-3590:
---------------------------------------

In my opinion, those classes should have no ctors at all (and they don't need 
as they are final - so make the ctor private). I would make all methods 
creating new instances of XxxRefs static and named with what they do: 
BytesRef.newEmptyInstance(), BytesRef.deepCopyOf(), 
BytesRef.newInstanceFromRef(), BytesRef.copyOf(otherType),...
                
> minimize bytesref to be a ref to a byte[]

> Setting this as blocker for 4.0, as this class is used in every API there.
> Currently this API is a little of a everything, sometimes its like a 
> stringbuffer, it
> does numeric conversions, all kinds of stuff.
> We need this to be a ref to a byte[], nothing else. This other stuff can go 
> somewhere else.
