-----------------------------------
Assignee: Yuxuan Wang
> Improve memory efficiency in go THeader implementation
> ------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: THRIFT-5490
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/THRIFT-5490
> Project: Thrift
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Go - Library
> Reporter: Yuxuan Wang
> Assignee: Yuxuan Wang
> Priority: Major
>
> Currently in go's THeaderTransport implementation, due to THeader's framed
> nature, there are 2 buffers used, one for read and one for write. The 2
> buffers are part of THeaderTransport and have the same lifecycle with the
> transport itself.
> This caused an issue with idle connections (e.g. connections sitting in a
> pool). For idle connections, their buffers were grew to handle the
> request/response, but never shrink, even when the connection is sitting in
> idle. So when a connection pool is used, every idle connection sitting in the
> pool has a memory profile of largest read + largest write they have ever had
> in their whole lifecycle, and when we have a server handling large
> request/response payloads with a lot of idle connections, the memory
> footprint can grow significant.
> We should use a resource pool, and return the buffers to the pool after done
> reading/writing, to better manage memory footprint.
