THRIFT-4024: Skip() throws TProtocolException.INVALID_DATA on unknown data
types
----
> Skip() should throw on unknown data types
> -----------------------------------------
>
> Key: THRIFT-4024
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/THRIFT-4024
> Project: Thrift
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: .NETCore - Library, C# - Library, Delphi - Library, Go -
> Library, Haxe - Library
> Affects Versions: 0.10.0
> Reporter: Michael Antipin
> Assignee: Jens Geyer
> Priority: Major
> Fix For: 0.11.0

>
> I'm using TBinaryProtocol and a simple transport that reads from a given byte
> array.
> C# library contains the following code in TProtocolUtil.Skip(TProtocol prot,
> TType type):
> {code}
> case TType.List:
> TList list = prot.ReadListBegin();
> for (int i = 0; i < list.Count; i++) {
> Skip(prot, list.ElementType);
> }
> prot.ReadListEnd();
> break;
> {code}
> The type of elements is detected in ReadListBegin(), and, as Skip() does
> nothing for unknown types, the position in the binary remains the same until
> the for loop completes.
> So, when you try to deserialize invalid data, and a field type happens to be
> detected as TType.List, you may end up waiting for a random period of time
> until deserialization is completed (734707176 iterations of skipping in my
> case).
> I suggest throwing an exception immediately when list elements type is
> unknown. May be, it would be good to have a setting like *FailOnUnknownType*,
> so that Skip() will throw instead of ignoring.
