------------------------------------
Summary: Rework ByteBuf
Key: LUCY-266
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCY-266
Project: Lucy
Issue Type: Task
Components: Clownfish
Reporter: Nick Wellnhofer
Priority: Minor
I recently toyed with the idea of reworking Clownfish's ByteBuf in a way
similar to immutable String changes. This would mean to use a separate class
for immutable byte buffers replacing ViewByteBuf and restrict ByteBuf to
creating byte buffers.
The immutable ByteBuf class could then have a companion iterator class that can
be used to parse a byte buffer's content. All the NumUtils_decode_* functions
could go there, for example.
The NumUtils_encode_* function could be made methods of the mutable ByteBuf.
