Summary: Thrift proxy in Accumulo throws out of memory error on
malformed request
Key: ACCUMULO-2897
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ACCUMULO-2897
Project: Accumulo
Issue Type: Bug
Components: proxy
Affects Versions: 1.6.0
Environment: Oracle Java 1.7.0_60, Accumulo 1.6, Hadoop 2.2 Zookeeper
on Centos
Reporter: Joseph L Howard
Thrift libraries have a well known Jira problem where malformed requests (e.g.
curl) throw an Out of memory error on malformed requests. Length limit checks
(possibly JIRA THRIFT-2572 issue Add string/collection length limit checks
(from C++) to java.)
This is likely TBinaryProtocol.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Replicating the issue:
1) start Accumulo proxy "./accumulo proxy -p ../proxy/proxy.properties
2) curl -get localhost:procyport "Hi"
Proxy will crash with OOM.
