Jacques Nadeau created ARROW-7494: ------------------------------------- Summary: [Java] Remove reader index and writer index from ArrowBuf Key: ARROW-7494 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-7494 Project: Apache Arrow Issue Type: Task Reporter: Jacques Nadeau
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. -- This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.3.4#803005)
