allow iteration without copying values #38

Open phraktle opened 11 years ago

phraktle commented 11 years ago

When iterating a range where you only need the keys (e.g. for deletion) it would be better to iterate without copying every value from the native slice (lots of garbage being created).

Currently JniDBIterator.next forces the value part to be always copied. Please provide a different mechanism that avoids this (e.g. an option for iterator or some lazy loading mechanism).
