下面是一个优化的版本，尽量避免复制数据字节:

private static byte[] loadStream (InputStream stream) throws IOException {
   int available = stream.available();
   int expectedSize = available > 0 ? available : -1;
   return loadStream(stream, expectedSize);
}

private static byte[] loadStream (InputStream stream, int expectedSize) throws IOException {
   int basicBufferSize = 0x4000;
   int initialBufferSize = (expectedSize >= 0) ? expectedSize : basicBufferSize;
   byte[] buf = new byte[initialBufferSize];
   int pos = 0;
   while (true) {
      if (pos == buf.length) {
         int readAhead = -1;
         if (pos == expectedSize) {
            readAhead = stream.read();       // test whether EOF is at expectedSize
            if (readAhead == -1) {
               return buf;
            }
         }
         int newBufferSize = Math.max(2 * buf.length, basicBufferSize);
         buf = Arrays.copyOf(buf, newBufferSize);
         if (readAhead != -1) {
            buf[pos++] = (byte)readAhead;
         }
      }
      int len = stream.read(buf, pos, buf.length - pos);
      if (len < 0) {
         return Arrays.copyOf(buf, pos);
      }
      pos += len;
   }
}

请参阅InputStream.available()文档:

It is particularly important to realize that you must not use this method to size a container and assume that you can read the entirety of the stream without needing to resize the container. Such callers should probably write everything they read to a ByteArrayOutputStream and convert that to a byte array. Alternatively, if you're reading from a file, File.length returns the current length of the file (though assuming the file's length can't change may be incorrect, reading a file is inherently racy).

在将S3对象转换为ByteArray时，我们看到一些AWS事务的延迟。

注意:S3对象为PDF文档(最大大小为3mb)。

我们使用选项#1将S3对象转换为ByteArray。我们注意到S3提供了内置IOUtils方法来将S3对象转换为ByteArray，我们请求您确认将S3对象转换为ByteArray的最佳方法以避免延迟。

选项1:

import org.apache.commons.io.IOUtils;
is = s3object.getObjectContent();
content =IOUtils.toByteArray(is);

选项2:

import com.amazonaws.util.IOUtils;
is = s3object.getObjectContent();
content =IOUtils.toByteArray(is);

也让我知道，如果我们有任何其他更好的方法来转换s3对象到bytearray

另一种情况是在发送请求到服务器并等待响应后，通过流获得正确的字节数组。

/**
         * Begin setup TCP connection to PC app
         * to open integrate connection between mobile app and pc app (or mobile app)
         */
        mSocket = new Socket(IP, port);
       // mSocket.setSoTimeout(30000);

        DataOutputStream mDos = new DataOutputStream(mSocket.getOutputStream());

        String str = "MobileRequest#" + params[0] + "#<EOF>";

        mDos.write(str.getBytes());

        try {
            Thread.sleep(1000);
        } catch (InterruptedException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }

        /* Since data are accepted as byte, all of them will be collected in the
        following byte array which initialised with accepted data length. */
        DataInputStream mDis = new DataInputStream(mSocket.getInputStream());
        byte[] data = new byte[mDis.available()];

        // Collecting data into byte array
        for (int i = 0; i < data.length; i++)
            data[i] = mDis.readByte();

        // Converting collected data in byte array into String.
        String RESPONSE = new String(data);

你可以使用Cactoos(我是它的开发者之一):

import org.cactoos.bytes.BytesOf;
byte[] array = new BytesOf(stream).asBytes();

你也可以将流转换为字符串:

import org.cactoos.text.TextOf;
String txt = new TextOf(stream).asString();

asBytes()和asString()方法都会抛出checked Exception。如果你不想捕获它，使用Unchecked*装饰器，例如:

import org.cactoos.bytes.BytesOf;
import org.cactoos.bytes.UncheckedBytes;
byte[] array = new UncheckedBytes(new BytesOf(stream)).asBytes();

public static byte[] getBytesFromInputStream(InputStream is) throws IOException {
    ByteArrayOutputStream os = new ByteArrayOutputStream(); 
    byte[] buffer = new byte[0xFFFF];
    for (int len = is.read(buffer); len != -1; len = is.read(buffer)) { 
        os.write(buffer, 0, len);
    }
    return os.toByteArray();
}
