Patch makes sense to me. This is exactly what hdfsPread() does.

> The method makes a call to {{FSInputStream#read(byte[])}} to fill in the Java 
> byte array, however, {{#read(byte[])}} is not guaranteed to fill up the 
> entire array, instead it returns the number of bytes written to the array 
> (which could be less than the size of the array). Yet `{{GetByteArrayRegion}} 
> decides to copy the entire contents of the {{jbArray}} into the buffer 
> ({{noReadBytes}} is initialized to the length of the buffer and is never 
> updated). So if {{FSInputStream#read(byte[])}} decides to read less data than 
> the size of the byte array, the call to {{GetByteArrayRegion}} will 
> essentially copy more bytes than necessary.
