Hi, I'm a Computer Science student and I saw the issue 'Sending random data crashes Thrift service' [1] has been tagged as a possible GSoC project. I saw there have already been many suggestions on how to fix it, though it seems not fixed yet. I'd like to know whether there is someone working on this issue or is it open to be a GSoC project.
I also had a glace at the patches submitted to JIRA on this issue and I'm not quite sure whether the scale of this idea will be enough for a GSoC project unless there's a need to re-implement the message reading/processing parts with a different approach. Does it seem to be the case? Any clarifications? I'm not yet familiar with the specifics of Thrift, but I have been involved in implementing a somewhat similar framework (a basic purpose-built framework which was more similar to Avro) during my internship period at Mubasher [2], so I hope I'll be able to catch-up and I would like to start working on this idea if someone from Thrift community is willing to mentor/co-mentor this as a GSoC project, as this idea seems to be interesting. Thanks. Rajeev [1] https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/THRIFT-601 [2] http://www.mubasher.net/en/
