Hi Csaba,

Thanks for contributing!  Mind attaching a patch against trunk? (attach files and be sure to check "Grant license to ASF for inclusion in ASF works"). This is necessary to incorporate your change into the code. More info here: http://wiki.apache.org/hadoop/HowToContribute

Thanks,
Eli

> Even the clear() method is called each time, some bytes are still not filled as zero.
> So, when reader.readLine(text) is called in a loop, some bytes are dirty which was from last call.
