  - ### Method Detail

    - #### bytesDifference

          public static int bytesDifference(BytesRef priorTerm,
                                            BytesRef currentTerm)

      Compares two `BytesRef`, element by element, and returns the number of elements common to both arrays (from the start of each). This method assumes currentTerm comes after priorTerm.
      Parameters:
        `priorTerm` - The first `BytesRef` to compare
        `currentTerm` - The second `BytesRef` to compare
      Returns:
        The number of common elements (from the start of each).

    - #### sortKeyLength

          public static int sortKeyLength(BytesRef priorTerm,
                                          BytesRef currentTerm)

      Returns the length of `currentTerm` needed for use as a sort key. so that `BytesRef.compareTo(BytesRef)` still returns the same result. This method assumes currentTerm comes after priorTerm.

    - #### startsWith

          public static boolean startsWith(byte[] ref,
                                           BytesRef prefix)

      Returns `true` iff the ref starts with the given prefix. Otherwise `false`.
      Parameters:
        `ref` - the `byte[]` to test
        `prefix` - the expected prefix
      Returns:
        Returns `true` iff the ref starts with the given prefix. Otherwise `false`.

    - #### startsWith

          public static boolean startsWith(BytesRef ref,
                                           BytesRef prefix)

      Returns `true` iff the ref starts with the given prefix. Otherwise `false`.
      Parameters:
        `ref` - the `BytesRef` to test
        `prefix` - the expected prefix
      Returns:
        Returns `true` iff the ref starts with the given prefix. Otherwise `false`.

    - #### endsWith

          public static boolean endsWith(BytesRef ref,
                                         BytesRef suffix)

      Returns `true` iff the ref ends with the given suffix. Otherwise `false`.
      Parameters:
        `ref` - the `BytesRef` to test
        `suffix` - the expected suffix
      Returns:
        Returns `true` iff the ref ends with the given suffix. Otherwise `false`.

    - #### murmurhash3_x86_32

          public static int murmurhash3_x86_32(byte[] data,
                                               int offset,
                                               int len,
                                               int seed)

      Returns the MurmurHash3_x86_32 hash. Original source/tests at https://github.com/yonik/java_util/

    - #### murmurhash3_x86_32

          public static int murmurhash3_x86_32(BytesRef bytes,
                                               int seed)

    - #### randomId

          public static byte[] randomId()

      Generates a non-cryptographic globally unique id.

    - #### idToString

          public static String idToString(byte[] id)

      Helper method to render an ID as a string, for debugging

      Returns the string `(null)` if the id is null. Otherwise, returns a string representation for debugging. Never throws an exception. The returned string may indicate if the id is definitely invalid.

    - #### intsRefToBytesRef

          public static BytesRef intsRefToBytesRef(IntsRef ints)

      Just converts each int in the incoming `IntsRef` to each byte in the returned `BytesRef`, throwing `IllegalArgumentException` if any int value is out of bounds for a byte.

    - #### compare

          @Deprecated
          public static int compare(int count,
                                                byte[] a,
                                                int aOffset,
                                                byte[] b,
                                                int bOffset)

      Deprecated. Use FutureArrays.compareUnsigned instead.
      Compares a fixed length slice of two byte arrays interpreted as big-endian unsigned values. Returns positive int if a > b, negative int if a < b and 0 if a == b
