Knut Anders Hatlen commented on DERBY-3936:
-------------------------------------------

I agree that the builder pattern is cleaner than having many constructors 
and/or a constructor with a dozen parameters when immutability is a goal. But 
doesn't Builder's two-arg constructor break the pattern? Isn't it clearer to 
have methods for those two fields as well?

> A set of state information is required about byte streams representing 
> characters to be able to handle them properly.
> The basic pieces of information are:
>  - is bufferable
>  - is position aware
>  - data offset
>  - current byte position
>  - current char position
>  - byte length
>  - char length
> Additional info:
>  - encoding
>  - max allowed length
>  - bytes per char information
> The information is chosen with UTF8Reader in mind, and the plan is to pass a 
> CharacterStreamDescriptor instance to the constructor to allow the reader to 
> configure itself appropriately. The information is expected to be valid only 
> at a specific point in time, as some of it will change as soon as the reader 
> starts working with the underlying stream.
