Subject: Re: BytesWritable does not have a setter method for the byte[]
Date: Tue, 6 Feb 2007 09:46:22 -0800

I have written a Buffer class in Hadoop record I/O. Buffer resembles  
BytesWritable. I have added a few methods to it that make it better  
(IMHO). They are set(byte[]), append(byte[], offset, length), append 
(byte[]), and truncate(). In future BytesWritable could be generated  
by the record I/O translator from this DDL:

class BytesWritable {
   Buffer value;
}
