Description
TiffMetadataReader.readMetadata got deprecated.
The reasoning (mentioned only in the comments, not in the Javadoc) was
supposedly efficiency - it reads the whole file into a byte[] and then
processes that.
Problem is, there is no usable replacement.
The other method takes a File. I don't have a File, so to use *that* method,
now *I* have to copy all the data, only instead of copying it into a byte[],
I'm now copying it into a File. This is obviously even slower than the method
which got deprecated.
Please consider adding a method taking SeekableByteChannel or similar
interface, so that we can adapt what we have to fit.
