[jira] [Commented] (CODEC-202) BinaryEncoder / BinaryDecoder should support input with offset and length parameters

["Gary Gregory (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CODEC-202?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=14679207#comment-14679207 ]

------------------------------------

Hi Oleg,

The only way to do that, and keep BC, is to have the BinaryDecoder2 interface extend BinaryDecoder to add the method(s) you want. Same for the encoder interface.

If you do not care about the interfaces, then we can talk about a narrower solution and which codec you'd like to see this added.

Thoughts?

> BinaryEncoder / BinaryDecoder interfaces should also support input with offset and length parameters. At the moment one often has to create an intermediate copy of an byte array just to truncate it to a particular length leading to unnecessary intermediate garbage.
