> The method makes a call to {{FSInputStream#read(byte[])}} to fill in the Java byte array, however, {{#read(byte[])}} is not guaranteed to fill up the entire array, instead it returns the number of bytes written to the array (which could be less than the size of the array). Yet `{{GetByteArrayRegion}} decides to copy the entire contents of the {{jbArray}} into the buffer ({{noReadBytes}} is initialized to the length of the buffer and is never updated). So if {{FSInputStream#read(byte[])}} decides to read less data than the size of the byte array, the call to {{GetByteArrayRegion}} will essentially copy more bytes than necessary.
