James E. King, III updated THRIFT-3084:
---------------------------------------
Description:
The TThreadedServer and TThreadPoolServer do not impose limits on the number of
simultaneous connections, which is not useful in production as bad clients can
drive a server to consume too many file descriptors or have too many threads.
With TThreadPoolServer one can set the limit on the number of threads, however
the server will use one additional file descriptor because the serve() routine
does not block until after accepting the threadManager size + 1 sockets.
With TThreadedServer there was no built-in way to throttle.
Give the serve() loop is the only code capable of adding a client, the solution
is to add a Monitor to the TServerFramework and check the number of concurrent
clients immediately before calling TServerTransport::accept() to get another
client, and to track the number of clients that are still alive (their smart
pointer hasn't been destroyed).
