Raghu Angadi commented on HADOOP-1470:
--------------------------------------
in output summer :
{code}
if( off<0 || off>b.length ) {
throw new IndexOutOfBoundsException();
}
... and write() writes fewer bytes.
{code}.
I wonder if checking array bounds is really necessary since if we don't check,
it is any going to result in the same exception.

> Comment from Doug in HADOOP-1134:
> I'd prefer it if the CRC code could be shared with CheckSumFileSystem. In
> particular, it seems to me that FSInputChecker and FSOutputSummer could be
> extended to support pluggable sources and sinks for checksums, respectively,
> and DFSDataInputStream and DFSDataOutputStream could use these. Advantages of
> this are: (a) single implementation of checksum logic to debug and maintain;
> (b) keeps checksumming as close to possible to data generation and use. This
> patch computes checksums after data has been buffered, and validates them
> before it is buffered. We sometimes use large buffers and would like to guard
> against in-memory errors. The current checksum code catches a lot of such
> errors. So we should compute checksums after minimal buffering (just
> bytesPerChecksum, ideally) and validate them at the last possible moment
> (e.g., through the use of a small final buffer with a larger buffer behind
> it). I do not think this will significantly affect performance, and data
> integrity is a high priority.
