> In HDFS, we want to be able to read the edit log without crashing on an OOM
> condition. Unfortunately, we currently cannot do this, because there are no
> limits on the length of certain data types we pull from the edit log. We
> often read strings without setting any upper limit on the length we're
> prepared to accept.
> It's not that we don't have limits on strings-- for example, HDFS limits the
> maximum path length to 8000 UCS-2 characters. Linux limits the maximum user
> name length to either 64 or 128 bytes, depending on what version you are
> running. It's just that we're not exposing these limits to the
> deserialization functions that need to be aware of them.
