----------------------------------
Summary: Use PushbackReader Instead of BufferedReader
Key: ORC-850
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ORC-850
Project: ORC
Issue Type: Improvement
Reporter: David Mollitor
Assignee: David Mollitor
{{commons-csv}} uses, as its base {{Reader}} a {{BufferedReader}}, however the
more natural choice is {{PushBackReader}}.

This is useful in situations where it is convenient for a fragment of code to
read an indefinite number of data bytes that are delimited by a particular byte
value; after reading the terminating byte, the code fragment can "unread" it,
so that the next read operation on the input stream will reread the byte that
was pushed back. For example, bytes representing the characters constituting an
identifier might be terminated by a byte representing an operator character; a
method whose job is to read just an identifier can read until it sees the
operator and then push the operator back to be re-read.
