Colin Patrick McCabe created HADOOP-9676:
--------------------------------------------
Summary: make maximum RPC buffer size configurable
Key: HADOOP-9676
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-9676
Project: Hadoop Common
Issue Type: Improvement
Reporter: Colin Patrick McCabe
Assignee: Colin Patrick McCabe
Priority: Minor
Currently the RPC server just allocates however much memory the client asks
for, without validating. It would be nice to make the maximum RPC buffer size
configurable. This would prevent a rogue client from bringing down the
NameNode (or other Hadoop daemon) with a few requests for 2 GB buffers. It
would also make it easier to debug issues with super-large RPCs or malformed
headers, since OOMs can be difficult for developers to reproduce.
