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

             Summary: [Java] IPC stream handling should be more friendly to low level processing
                 Key: ARROW-2704
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-2704
             Project: Apache Arrow
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Java - Vectors
            Reporter: Bryan Cutler
            Assignee: Bryan Cutler


With some minor adjustments, the Java IPC stream reader could be more friendly to allow for low level message processing.  By that I mean reading a stream and examining messages without necessarily having to load the Record Batch data.  These include 

* Separate MessageChannelReader.readNextMessage to allow access to the buffer containing the message.
* MessageChannelReader input channel should be protected
* ArrowStreamWriter should make the message to end a stream static
* WriteChannel intToBytes could write to existing bytes or byte buffer instead of creating new array
