Question

Is there non-buffering stream reader implementation somewhere?

I have created my streams in the following way

FileInputStream inputStream = new FileInputStream(inputFilename);
CountingInputStream countingStream = new CountingInputStream(inputStream);
InputStreamReader streamReader = new InputStreamReader(countingStream, Charset.forName("utf8"));

and countingStream indicates position 8192 from the very beginning. This means that reader reads 8192 bytes despite I am reading char by char.

Is there any reader without this feature?

CountingInputStream is from Apache Commons IO API.

I’m not sure why you would want one (seems rather inefficient), but you could implement one yourself using CharsetDecoder.
