[I] [Java] Remove reader index and writer index from ArrowBuf [arrow-java]

["asfimport (via GitHub)" <gi...@apache.org>]

asfimport opened a new issue, #272:
URL: https://github.com/apache/arrow-java/issues/272

   Reader and writer index and functionality doesn't belong on a chunk of memory and is due to inheritance from ByteBuf. As part of removing ByteBuf inheritance, we should also remove reader and writer indexes from ArrowBuf functionality. It wastes heap memory for rare utility. In general, a slice can be used instead of a reader/writer index pattern.
