[jira] [Created] (KAFKA-10846) FileStreamSourceTask buffer can grow without bound

Tom Bentley created KAFKA-10846:
-----------------------------------

             Summary: FileStreamSourceTask buffer can grow without bound
                 Key: KAFKA-10846
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-10846
             Project: Kafka
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: KafkaConnect
            Reporter: Tom Bentley
            Assignee: Tom Bentley


When reading a large file the buffer used by {{FileStreamSourceTask}} can grow without bound. Even in the unit test org.apache.kafka.connect.file.FileStreamSourceTaskTest#testBatchSize the buffer grows from 1,024 to 524,288 bytes just reading 10,000 copies of a line of <100 chars.

The problem is that the condition for growing the buffer is incorrect. The buffer is doubled whenever some bytes were read and the used space in the buffer == the buffer length.
The requirement to increase the buffer size should be related to whether {{extractLine()}} actually managed to read any lines. It's only when no complete lines were read since the last call to {{read()}} that we need to increase the buffer size (to cope with the large line).
