Nate McCall commented on CASSANDRA-475:
---------------------------------------
Both TBinaryProtocol and TFramedTransport use the limits in checks only. The
size used to construct the byte[] is pulled from the first couple bytes of any
thrift message. When junk was sent, this size was getting intepreted as
extremely large values.
> sending random data crashes thrift service

> Use dd if=/dev/urandom count=1 | nc $host 9160 as a handy recipe for shutting
> a cassandra instance down.
> Thrift has spoken (see THRIFT-601), but "Don't Do That" is probably an
> insufficient answer for our users.
