------------------------------------
Summary: Add offset and limit arguments to byte array
Encoder.decode method
Key: ACCUMULO-2817
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ACCUMULO-2817
Project: Accumulo
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: client
Reporter: Josh Elser
Fix For: 1.7.0
Similar to ACCUMULO-2445, but presently the encoder only works on complete byte
arrays. This forces an extra copy of the data when it is located in an array
that contains other information (e.g. a composite key).
It would be nice to be able to provide offset and length arguments to
{{Encoder.decode}} so that users can avoid the additional arraycopy.
Changing to a ByteBuffer instead of byte array argument would also be
acceptable, but more churn on the API that, unless it's happening globally, I
would rather avoid. It would also incur the penalty for that extra Object,
which while minimal alone, could be significant if decoding every value in a
table, for example.
