             Summary: Make ByteArrayOutputStream.toBufferedInputStream public to avoid a buffer copy
                 Key: IO-549
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IO-549
             Project: Commons IO
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Streams/Writers
    Affects Versions: 2.5
            Reporter: Rob Reeves
            Priority: Minor


I'm working on a project where I need to aggregate a lot of data in memory. To do this I'm using GzipOutputStream backed by org.apache.commons.io.output.ByteArrayOutputStream. After the aggregation is done I eventually will read the data back out. I'm trying to avoid byte[] buffer copies to reduce the memory usage. ByteArrayOutputStream.toBufferedInputStream seems like the perfect way to do this, but it's a private method. I would only call it after I'm done writing to the ByteArrayOutputStream object. Is there any reason I shouldn't use this method? Could it be made public? Thanks!
