[jira] Commented: (HADOOP-6381) WritableUtils::*VLong utilities should be available for byte arrays

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-6381?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12779237#action_12779237 ] 

Todd Lipcon commented on HADOOP-6381:
-------------------------------------

I think the new functions should return the number of bytes actually written - otherwise it's impossible to use this as part of a serialization routine where you want to continue writing more stuff into an array after the vlong/vint, right?

> Particularly when working with raw bytes in Writables, it is often useful to have versions of the vint utility functions for byte arrays.
