             Summary: FileUtils#readFileToByteArray: optimize reading of files 
with known size
                 Key: IO-542
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IO-542
             Project: Commons IO
          Issue Type: Improvement
            Reporter: Pascal Schumacher


{quote}IO-251 added optimization for reading files with known size as byte 
arrays, but it was reverted in IO-453 due to regression, because File.length() 
method may return 0 for path files denoting system-dependent entities such as 
devices or pipes

More optimal solution is to treat 0 as unknown size and use 
IOUtils.toByteArray(input), but if size is known (> 0) use more efficient 
approach and read content into pre-allocated byte array with exact size by 
calling IOUtils.toByteArray(input, size).{quote}
