[jira] [Created] (HADOOP-10855) Allow Text to be read with a known length

Todd Lipcon created HADOOP-10855:
------------------------------------

             Summary: Allow Text to be read with a known length
                 Key: HADOOP-10855
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-10855
             Project: Hadoop Common
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: io
    Affects Versions: 2.6.0
            Reporter: Todd Lipcon
            Assignee: Todd Lipcon
            Priority: Minor


For the native task work (MAPREDUCE-2841) it is useful to be able to store strings in a different fashion than the default (varint-prefixed) serialization. We should provide a "read" method in Text which takes an already-known length to support this use case while still providing Text objects back to the user.
