### Describe the usage question you have. Please include as many useful details as possible. [java] Is there a way to get the length of the data from bytes at a small system cost? Like the arrow doc example, https://arrow.apache.org/docs/java/ipc.html#writing-and-reading-streaming-format We generate the arrow data to bytes[] and transfer it. ``` ByteArrayOutputStream out = new ByteArrayOutputStream(); // create VectorSchemaRoot List<Field> fields = Arrays.asList(encodedVector.getField()); List<FieldVector> vectors = Arrays.asList(encodedVector); try (VectorSchemaRoot root = new VectorSchemaRoot(fields, vectors)) { // write data ArrowStreamWriter writer = new ArrowStreamWriter(root, provider, Channels.newChannel(out)); writer.start(); writer.writeBatch(); writer.end(); } // gen arrow data as bytep[] out.toByteArray() ``` I want to get the data length with a small system load(cpu mem). Now i using this way to get data lengeh: ``` ByteArrayInputStream input = new ByteArrayInputStream(out.toByteArray()); ReadChannel readChannel = new ReadChannel(Channels.newChannel(input)); MessageMetadataResult messageMeta = MessageSerializer.readMessage(readChannel); RecordBatch recordBatch = (RecordBatch) messageMeta.getMessage().header(new RecordBatch()); input.close(); readChannel.close(); // get data length recordBatch.length() ``` Is there documentation to guide me on what to do? thanks~ ### Component(s) Java -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
