Matt Corgan commented on HBASE-9091:
------------------------------------
I'm not too serious. To illustrate further, you might have
- interface ByteRange
- interface PositionedByteRange extends ByteRange
- class SimpleByteRange implements ByteRange
- class ConcurrentByteRange implements ByteRange
- class OffHeapByteRange implements PositionedByteRange
etc
All would compareTo/equals/hashCode the same, so they'd be interoperable. Half
baked idea, but also pretty simple to implement
> Update ByteRange to maintain consumer's position

> ByteRange is a useful alternative to Java's ByteBuffer. Notably, it is
> mutable and an instance can be assigned over a byte[] after instantiation.
> This is valuable as a performance consideration when working with byte[]
> slices in a tight loop. Its current design is such that it is not possible to
> consume a portion of the range while performing activities like decoding an
> object without altering the definition of the range. It should provide a
> position that is independent from the range's offset and length to make
> partial reads easier.
