--------------------------------------
Summary: Issue with character encoding of Success returned from
Login using Thrift Proxy and NodeJS
Key: ACCUMULO-2358
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ACCUMULO-2358
Project: Accumulo
Issue Type: Bug
Components: client, proxy
Affects Versions: 1.5.0
Environment: CentOS 6.4, NodeJS 0.10.21, NPM thrift module 0.9.1
Reporter: Ryan Knowles
Priority: Minor
I recently tried to connect to Accumulo through the Thrift proxy using NodeJS.
I was able to successfully send login information to Accumulo and receive back
a success, but when I tried to use this success to feed into other functions
such as listTables I would receive an Exception.
I traced this down to the AccumuloProxy.js file that was generated from the
proxy.thrift file. In the AccumuloProxy_login_result.prototype.read function
if the ftype == Thrift.Type.STRING then this.success is set to
input.readString(). During this readString function the toString is called on
the Buffer, but what is returned has characters that are not correctly encoded.
I modified the AccumuloProxy_login_result.prototype.read to call readBinary
instead and return the Buffer as success. I was then able to pass the Buffer
into the other functions and correctly get a result.
