Description
While writing Cells to this stream, to make the CellBlock ByteBuffer, we do write length of the cell as int. We use StreamUtils to do this which will write each byte one after the other. So 4 write calls on Stream.(OutputSteam has only this support) With ByteBufferOuputStream we have the overhead of checking for size limit and possible grow with every write call. Internally this stream writes to a ByteBuffer. Again inside the ByteBuffer implementations there is position limit checks. If we do write these length as int in one go we can reduce this overhead.
