RPC should send a fixed header and version at the start of connection ---------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: HADOOP-677 URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-677 Project: Hadoop Issue Type: Improvement Components: ipc Affects Versions: 0.7.2 Reporter: Owen O'Malley Assigned To: Owen O'Malley Fix For: 0.9.0 There have been problems with http clients connecting to the RPC servers, which causes the RPC to try and allocate huge buffers and get OutOfMemoryExceptions. I want to have a fixed prefix that is sent first that identifies it as an RPC client. To make the system compatible as much as possible, I'd make the servers accept both forms for a Hadoop release and then change the clients to send the prefix, and finally make the servers only accept the new form. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
