---------------------------------

             Summary: Protobuf definition with outer class causes stack 
overflow for ProtobufDatumReader
                 Key: AVRO-2780
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AVRO-2780
             Project: Apache Avro
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: java
    Affects Versions: 1.9.2
            Reporter: Tianyu Lang


We have found a bug with ProtobufDatumReader. In Protobuf, if the ".proto" file 
has the same name as the message, in the generated ".java" file, "OuterClass" 
will be appended to the outer class's name. This is documented here: 
[https://developers.google.com/protocol-buffers/docs/reference/java-generated#invocation]

Now we have a test protobuf class defined like so:

 
{code:java}
syntax = "proto2";

package test.avrobug;

option java_package = "com.test.protos.avrobug";
option java_generic_services = true;

enum State {
  BAD = 0;
  VERY_BAD = 1;
  SUPER_BAD = 2;
}

message Dummy {
  optional string token = 1;
  optional string description = 2;
  optional int64 count = 3;
  optional State state = 4;
}
{code}
 

 

If we first create a Protobuf object, write it to a file as Avro through 
ProtobufDatumReader, then read it into a Protobuf with ProtobufDatumReader, a 
stack overflow exception will happen. Code to reproduce is as follows:

 
{code:java}
@Test
public void ProtoToAvroOuterClassBug() throws Exception {
  DummyOuterClass.Dummy dummy = DummyOuterClass.Dummy.newBuilder()
      .setCount(50)
      .setDescription("hehe")
      .setToken("abc123")
      .setState(DummyOuterClass.State.BAD)
      .build();
  
  ProtobufDatumWriter<DummyOuterClass.Dummy> pbWriter =
      new ProtobufDatumWriter<>(DummyOuterClass.Dummy.class);
  DataFileWriter<DummyOuterClass.Dummy> dataFileWriter = new 
DataFileWriter<>(pbWriter);
  Schema schema = ProtobufData.get().getSchema(DummyOuterClass.Dummy.class);
  dataFileWriter.create(schema,
      new File("/Users/tianyu/Documents/DummyAvroNoDefaultValues.avro"));
  dataFileWriter.append(dummy);
  dataFileWriter.close();

  ProtobufDatumReader<DummyOuterClass.Dummy> pbReader =
      new ProtobufDatumReader<>(DummyOuterClass.Dummy.class);
  DataFileReader<DummyOuterClass.Dummy> dataFileReader =
      new DataFileReader<>(new 
File("/Users/tianyu/Documents/DummyAvroNoDefaultValues.avro"),
          pbReader);
  while(dataFileReader.hasNext()) {
    DummyOuterClass.Dummy record = dataFileReader.next();
    String recordStr = record.toString();
    String originStr = dummy.toString();
    System.out.println(recordStr);
    System.out.println(originStr);
  }
}
{code}
 

 

When this is run, a stack overflow exception will happen with the following 
stack trace:

 
{code:java}
java.lang.StackOverflowErrorjava.lang.StackOverflowError                      
at 
java.base/java.util.concurrent.ConcurrentHashMap.get(ConcurrentHashMap.java:936)
                      at 
org.apache.avro.specific.SpecificData.getClass(SpecificData.java:250)           
           at 
org.apache.avro.protobuf.ProtobufData.newRecord(ProtobufData.java:141)          
            at 
org.apache.avro.protobuf.ProtobufData.newRecord(ProtobufData.java:143)          
            at 
org.apache.avro.protobuf.ProtobufData.newRecord(ProtobufData.java:143)          
            at 
..................{code}
newRecord() is recursed infinitely until stack explodes

I did a bit code tracing and I found out when Avro tries to load the 
corresponding Java class from the schema, it tries to load the class 
"com.squareup.protos.cardr.Dummy.Dummy". I suspect the double "Dummy" at the 
end is related to the stack overflow, but I don't have enough knowledge on 
Proto or Avro to know the exact reason.
