-----------------------------------------

             Summary: proton-j: SimpleSSLTransportWrapper doesn't flush all 
bytes from the Decode buffer to the next transport buffer (_underlyingInput)
                 Key: PROTON-1171
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PROTON-1171
             Project: Qpid Proton
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: proton-j
    Affects Versions: 0.12.0
         Environment: Any
            Reporter: Sreeram Garlapati
            Priority: Critical
             Fix For: 0.13.0


Actual Issue/scenario hit by Microsoft Azure EventHubs:
 We have a pattern where customers sends messages in a burst to our Queue and 
stop sending and then wait for all of them to be received.
Because of this issue in Proton-j Amqp implementation - we can see many bytes 
were stuck in the SSL Decode Buffer and were only picked up when new transport 
frames arrive.
Given that this is a 1 line fix - it would be great if you folks can publish an 
incremental minor update to 0.12.X.

Here are my findings after debugging through this issue:

-          When incoming bytes arrive on the SocketChannel – proton-j client 
gets signaled by nio & as a result it unwinds the transport stack – as a result 
all the TransportInput implementations performs its task on the Read Bytes and 
hands off to the Next Layer in the stack (transport to ssl, ssl to frameparser 
etc).

-          While unwinding that stack, SimpleSSLTransportWrapper.unwrapInput 
reads(16k bytes) from _inputBuffer and the result - decoded bytes are written 
to _decodedInputBuffer – as an intermediate buffer.

-          It then flushes bytes from intermediate buffer to the next layer & 
invokes an _underlyingInput.Process() – to signal it that it has bytes in its 
input buffer.

-          If the underlyingInput (lets say FrameParser) buffer size is small – 
lets say 4k – then decodedInputBuffer will be left with 12k bytes & Over time 
this accrues.

The fix here is to flush decodedInputBuffer to the Next transport in the 
Network Stack & call _underlyingInput.Process() - until decodedInputBuffer is 
empty. Here’s the pull request:
