Currently, HBase is using Thrift 0.9.0 version, with the latest version being
0.9.2. Currently, the HBase Thrift gateway is vulnerable to crashes due to
THRIFT-2660 when used with default transport and the workaround for this
problem is switching to framed transport. Unfortunately, the recently added
impersonation support \[1\] doesn't work with framed transport leaving thrift
gateway using this feature susceptible to crashes. Updating thrift version to
0.9.2 will help us in mitigating this problem. Given that security is one of
key requirements for the production clusters, it would be good to ensure our
users that security features in thrift gateway can be used without any major
concerns. Aside this, there are also some nice fixes pertaining to leaky
resources in 0.9.2 like \[2\] and \[3\].
As far compatibility guarantees are concerned, thrift assures 100% wire
compatibility. However, it is my understanding that there were some minor
additions (new API) in 0.9.2 \[4\] which won't work in 0.9.0, but that won't
affect us since we are not using those features. And I tried running test suite
and did manual testing with thrift version set to 0.9.2 and things are running
smoothly. If there are no objections to this change, I would be more than happy
to file a jira and follow this up.
