Hi Steven, Thank you very much for taking the time to try to try to answer my question.
Perhaps if it is not clear enough, yes I have a usage question that I am asking here. I'll try to rephrase it. Could you kindly answer this? I have data (could be a string) that is stored in IOBuffer. I want to send it into a process, i.e. via a pipeline. Is there a way to turn a string or any byte array into a stream? An example of what I want is in the code snipped in OP. For example, java has something like this http://stackoverflow.com/questions/247161/how-do-i-turn-a-string-into-a-stream-in-java I understand (as stated in the github issue) IOBuffer is not directly supported in pipelines (although the docs clearly say otherwise) and if you feel like that should be a discussion on the issue, then I will continue that particular discussion on the github issue. Just wanted to note that the devs there already dismissed this feature request as not necessary and labelled it a "documentation issue".
