```
public final class BytesRefList
extends Object
```
A simple append only random-access BytesRef array that stores full copies of the appended bytes in a ByteBlockPool. Note: This class is not Thread-Safe!

```
public BytesRefList()
```
    Creates a new BytesRefList
- Method Detail
  - clear
```
public void clear()
```
    Clears this BytesRefList
  - append
```
public int append(BytesRef bytes)
```
    Appends a copy of the given BytesRef to this BytesRefList.
    
    Parameters:
    
    bytes - the bytes to append
    
    Returns:
    
    the ordinal of the appended bytes
  - size
```
public int size()
```
    Returns the current size of this BytesRefList
    
    Returns:
    
    the current size of this BytesRefList
  - get
```
public BytesRef get(BytesRef spare,
                    int ord)
```
    Returns the n'th element of this BytesRefList
    
    Parameters:
    
    spare - a spare BytesRef instance
    
    ord - the elements ordinal to retrieve
    
    Returns:
    
    the n'th element of this BytesRefList
  - bytesUsed
```
public long bytesUsed()
```
    Returns the number internally used bytes to hold the appended bytes in memory
    
    Returns:
    
    the number internally used bytes to hold the appended bytes in memory
  - iterator
```
public BytesRefIterator iterator()
```
    sugar for iterator(Comparator) with a null comparator
  - iterator
```
public BytesRefIterator iterator(Comparator<BytesRef> comp)
```
    Returns a BytesRefIterator with point in time semantics. The iterator provides access to all so far appended BytesRef instances.
    
    If a non null Comparator is provided the iterator will iterate the byte values in the order specified by the comparator. Otherwise the order is the same as the values were appended.
    
    This is a non-destructive operation.
