Hi @abchaubey
Thank you for your PR.
I think we need to consider taking a look at all of Commons IO and consider
if this is a task we want to do consistently: When do we throw an IOException
vs IllegalArgumentException vs IllegalStateException vs
UnsupportedOperationException and so on.
So IOW, let's pause and all think about this instead of doing a one-off PR
here...
This case in particular is interesting because the exception is thrown
because the expected input does not match the actual file, so either the input
is wrong (IAE) OR something went wrong while reading the file (IOEx). So either
exception might be valid here. One general rule could be that IOEx all come
from the JRE... needs further thought...

> The code of this method is as follows:
> {code:java}
> public static byte[] toByteArray(final InputStream input, final int size)
> throws IOException {
> if (size < 0) {
> throw new IllegalArgumentException("Size must be equal or greater
> than zero: " + size);
> } if (size == 0) {
> return new byte[0];
> } final byte[] data = new byte[size];
> int offset = 0;
> int read; while (offset < size && (read = input.read(data,
> offset, size - offset)) != EOF) {
> offset += read;
> }
> if (offset != size) {
> throw new IOException("Unexpected read size. current: " + offset
> + ", expected: " + size);
> } return data;
> }
> {code}
> When size is below zero, it throws IllegalArgumentException, but when size is
> not equal to offset, it throws IOException. It is somewhat confusing. It
> shall throw IOException in both cases, in that both cases check legal sizes.
