Adrian Muraru created HBASE-11052: ------------------------------------- Summary: Sending random data crashes thrift service Key: HBASE-11052 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-11052 Project: HBase Issue Type: Bug Components: Thrift Affects Versions: 0.94.18, 0.98.1, 1.0.0 Reporter: Adrian Muraru
Upstream thrift library has a know issue (THRIFT-601) causing the thrift server to crash with an Out-of-Memory Error when bogus requests are sent. This reproduces when a very large request size is sent in the request header, making the thrift server to allocate a large memory segment leading to OOM. LoadBalancer health checks are the first "candidate" for bogus requests Thrift developers admit this is a known issue with TBinaryProtocol and their recommandation is to use TCompactProtocol/TFramedTransport but this requires all thrift clients to be updated (might not be feasible atm) So we need a fix similar to CASSANDRA-475. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.2#6252)
