-------------------------------------
Summary: Sending random data crashes thrift service
Key: HBASE-11052
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-11052
Project: HBase
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Thrift
Affects Versions: 0.94.18, 0.98.1, 1.0.0
Reporter: Adrian Muraru
Upstream thrift library has a know issue (THRIFT-601) causing the thrift server
to crash with an Out-of-Memory Error when bogus requests are sent.
This reproduces when a very large request size is sent in the request header,
making the thrift server to allocate a large memory segment leading to OOM.
LoadBalancer health checks are the first "candidate" for bogus requests
Thrift developers admit this is a known issue with TBinaryProtocol and their
recommandation is to use TCompactProtocol/TFramedTransport but this requires
all thrift clients to be updated (might not be feasible atm)
So we need a fix similar to CASSANDRA-475.
