/** A reusable {@link DataInput} implementation that reads from an in-memory
 * buffer.
 *
 * <p>This saves memory over creating a new DataInputStream and
 * ByteArrayInputStream each time data is read.
 *
 * <p>Typical usage is something like the following:<pre>
 *
 * DataInputBuffer buffer = new DataInputBuffer();
 * while (... loop condition ...) {
 *   byte[] data = ... get data ...;
 *   int dataLength = ... get data length ...;
 *   buffer.reset(data, dataLength);
 *   ... read buffer using DataInput methods ...
 * }
