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;
}

*Laugh* I have such a method in a patch I'm working on. I went
ahead and uploaded what I had as a patch in HADOOP-982.
