>             Project: Hadoop Common
>          Issue Type: Bug
>          Components: util
>    Affects Versions: 0.20.2
>            Reporter: Ted Yu
>
> People would use the following code to convert Text to String:
> String valueString = new String(valueText.getBytes(), "UTF-8");
> However, if Text is reused, the above call would return String of monotonically increasing length.
> From 'Hadoop and XML' discussion thread:
> The problem I am seeing is between the Map phase and the
> Reduce phase, the XML is getting munged.  For Example:
>  </PrivateRate>
>  </PrivateRateSet>te>
> Text should provide method to return byte array of getLength() length.
