I have a lot of data and need PBF just to extract the things i want
from it, and not everything at once. I am getting the impression, that
PBF is not suitable for that kind of needs, but I am pretty new to it,
and maybe i'm overlooking something.
I have for example:
message x {
repeated Y y
You could write our own decoder around CodedInputStream, manually reading
and skipping the messages that you don't care about. The other option is to
use an equivalent message definition
message XAsBytes {
repeated bytes y = 1;
}
And then manually decode the entry you want into Y.
