ByteBuff (Apache HBase 2.0.6 API)

java.lang.Object
- org.apache.hadoop.hbase.nio.ByteBuff

Direct Known Subclasses:

MultiByteBuff, SingleByteBuff
```
@InterfaceAudience.Private
public abstract class ByteBuff
extends Object
```
An abstract class that abstracts out as to how the byte buffers are used, either single or multiple. We have this interface because the java's ByteBuffers cannot be sub-classed. This class provides APIs similar to the ones provided in java's nio ByteBuffers and allows you to do positional reads/writes and relative reads and writes on the underlying BB. In addition to it, we have some additional APIs which helps us in the read path.

  - asSubByteBuffer
```
public abstract ByteBuffer asSubByteBuffer(int length)
```
    Returns bytes from current position till length specified, as a single ByteBuffer. When all these bytes happen to be in a single ByteBuffer, which this object wraps, that ByteBuffer item as such will be returned. So users are warned not to change the position or limit of this returned ByteBuffer. The position of the returned byte buffer is at the begin of the required bytes. When the required bytes happen to span across multiple ByteBuffers, this API will copy the bytes to a newly created ByteBuffer of required size and return that.
    
    Parameters:
    
    length - number of bytes required.
    
    Returns:
    
    bytes from current position till length specified, as a single ByteButter.
  - asSubByteBuffer
```
public abstract void asSubByteBuffer(int offset,

```
    Returns bytes from given offset till length specified, as a single ByteBuffer. When all these bytes happen to be in a single ByteBuffer, which this object wraps, that ByteBuffer item as such will be returned (with offset in this ByteBuffer where the bytes starts). So users are warned not to change the position or limit of this returned ByteBuffer. When the required bytes happen to span across multiple ByteBuffers, this API will copy the bytes to a newly created ByteBuffer of required size and return that.
    
    Parameters:
    
    offset - the offset in this ByteBuff from where the subBuffer should be created
    
    length - the length of the subBuffer
    
    pair - a pair that will have the bytes from the current position till length specified, as a single ByteBuffer and offset in that Buffer where the bytes starts. Since this API gets called in a loop we are passing a pair to it which could be created outside the loop and the method would set the values on the pair that is passed in by the caller. Thus it avoids more object creations that would happen if the pair that is returned is created by this method every time.
