Jens Geyer commented on THRIFT-5371:
------------------------------------

Confirmed, and fixed on the way to 0.25.0 -- [PR 
#3762|https://github.com/apache/thrift/pull/3762].

The reported symptom reproduces as a test: 64 consecutive frames read over a 
transport configured
with room for any single frame but not for their sum ends in
{{TTransportException: MaxMessageSize reached}}, because 
{{TFramedTransport::readFrame()}} never
touches the budget and only {{readEnd()}} or {{flush()}} restores it -- neither 
of which a oneway
call reaches.

[~DenzilDexter]'s suggested {{resetConsumedMessageSize()}} is the right 
instinct, but the reset
belongs in {{readFrame()}} rather than {{readEnd()}}, and it needs a second 
half. {{readFrame()}}
already knows the exact size of the frame it is about to hand to the protocol, 
and that number is
a far better budget than {{maxMessageSize}}: it is what stops a 68-byte frame 
declaring a 64 MB
field, which {{readStringBody()}} would otherwise resize the caller's string to 
before discovering
there is nothing behind it. So {{readFrame()}} resets the budget and then binds 
it to the frame.
{{updateKnownMessageSize()}} had no caller anywhere in the C++ library before 
this -- the
mechanism was there and entirely unused.

[~ctubbsii] -- on your question about Java: partly. Java does not accumulate 
the way C++ does,
because {{TIOStreamTransport}} never decrements the budget on read; its only 
reset is the
{{flush()}} one on the write side. It does share the other half, the budget 
never being narrowed
to the frame. That is THRIFT-6165. c_glib has the same defect again, 
THRIFT-6166.

What this deliberately does not cover: {{THeaderTransport}} overrides 
{{readFrame()}} and is
unchanged, since in unframed mode it hands out four bytes at a time and binding 
there is a
separate question. THRIFT-5464 is related but not closed by this -- 
{{TBufferBase::read()}} still
checks rather than decrements; what changes is that for a framed transport the 
budget it checks
against is now one frame rather than the whole connection.

> I have been trying to upgrade our application from Thrift 0.11.0 to 0.14.1 
> and have noticed what I think is a bug.
> Our thrift application uses a TFramedTransport to transmit large quantities 
> of data from the client to the server using a oneway call.  The transports 
> are all created using the (new) default TConfiguration class giving a maximum 
> message size of 100MB.  
> Our application sends data through the thrift library in circa 10MB blocks 
> using a oneway call.  On the 10th call the server terminates with a 
> TTransportException thrown on line 329 of TTransport.h.
> I believe this is happening because the TFramedTransport doesn't reset the 
> 'knownMessageSize_' and 'remainingMessageSize_' counters when a message 
> transfer is completed.  This means that the counter continually reduces until 
> the exception is thrown.  I am new to the thrift library and so perhaps I 
> have this wrong but it's what looks like is happening to me.
> I can make the library work by adding resetConsumedMessageSize(); inside 
> TFramedTransport::readEnd() in file TBufferTransports.cpp (at line 310).  Is 
> this the correct solution?
