                 Key: HADOOP-6868
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-6868
             Project: Hadoop Common
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: util
    Affects Versions: 0.20.2
            Reporter: Ted Yu


People would use the following code to convert Text to String:
String valueString = new String(valueText.getBytes(), "UTF-8");

However, if Text is reused, the above call would return String of monotonically 
increasing length.
>From 'Hadoop and XML' discussion thread:
The problem I am seeing is between the Map phase and the
Reduce phase, the XML is getting munged.  For Example:
 </PrivateRate>
 </PrivateRateSet>te>

Text should provide method to return byte array of getLength() length.
