Additional constructor requested in BytesWritable
-------------------------------------------------
Key: HADOOP-310
URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-310
Project: Hadoop
Type: Improvement
Components: io
Reporter: paul sutter
Priority: Minor
It would be grand if BytesWritable.java had an additional constructor as below.
This allows me to use the BytesWritable class without doing a buffer copy,
since we have a less-than-fully-utilized byte array holding our key.
Thanks!
/**
* Create a BytesWritable using the byte array as the initial value.
* @param bytes This array becomes the backing storage for the object.
*/
public BytesWritable(byte[] bytes, int size) {
this.bytes = bytes;
this.size = size;
}
