---------------------------------
> [Java] Deserialize byte lengths as LONG but limit to INT
> --------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: AVRO-3783
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AVRO-3783
> Project: Apache Avro
> Issue Type: Bug
> Reporter: Jack Klamer
> Assignee: Jack Klamer
> Priority: Major
> Fix For: 1.11.2
>
>
> In the spec, the encoding for the bytes type is bytes are encoded as a long
> followed by that many bytes of data.. In the Java binary decoders they are
> read as ints this is not a correctness issue because the VLE of the long is
> the same as that of an equivalently valued int. The int is used (I assume) to
> enable easier interop with the ByteBuffer java class. But in the rare cases
> where validly encoded data of more than MAX_ARRAY_SIZE bytes is found, this
> change will cause an error of
> {code}
> throw new UnsupportedOperationException(
> "Cannot read arrays longer than " + MAX_ARRAY_SIZE + " bytes in
> Java library");
> {code}
> instead of
> {code}
> throw new InvalidNumberEncodingException("Invalid int encoding");
> {code}
> This type of checking is consistent with what happens in readString which
> reads its size as a long.
