Answer 1

Use below implementation for more custom use -

public class ReusableBufferedInputStream extends BufferedInputStream
{

    private int totalUse;
    private int used;

    public ReusableBufferedInputStream(InputStream in, Integer totalUse)
    {
        super(in);
        if (totalUse > 1)
        {
            super.mark(Integer.MAX_VALUE);
            this.totalUse = totalUse;
            this.used = 1;
        }
        else
        {
            this.totalUse = 1;
            this.used = 1;
        }
    }

    @Override
    public void close() throws IOException
    {
        if (used < totalUse)
        {
            super.reset();
            ++used;
        }
        else
        {
            super.close();
        }
    }
}
