>             Project: Thrift
>          Issue Type: Bug
>          Components: Java - Library
>    Affects Versions: 0.13.0

> The following Java code runs successfully, but causes Thrift to log a warning inside TIOStreamTransport:
>  
> {code:java}
>     TTransport transport = new TZlibTransport(new TSocket("localhost", 8000, 1000));
>     transport.close();{code}
> The warning is as follows:
>  
>  
> {code:java}
> WARN org.apache.thrift.transport.TIOStreamTransport - Error closing output stream.
>  java.net.SocketException: Socket closed
>  at java.net.SocketOutputStream.socketWrite(SocketOutputStream.java:118) ~[?:1.8.0_181]
>  at java.net.SocketOutputStream.write(SocketOutputStream.java:155) ~[?:1.8.0_181]

>  at org.apache.thrift.transport.TSocket.close(TSocket.java:235) [libthrift-0.13.0.jar:0.13.0]
>  at org.apache.thrift.transport.TZlibTransport.close(TZlibTransport.java:79) [libthrift-0.13.0.jar:0.13.0]{code}
> It looks like this is because the TSocket gets used for both the input and output streams of TZLibTransport and this results in an attempt to close the same socket twice. It's possible to work around this by closing the TSocket directly instead of the TZlibTransport, but that isn't ideal because it results in confusing/fragile code (breaks the encapsulation around the TSocket and prevents use of a try-with-resources block on the TZLibTransport instance).
>  
> That aside, Thrift is swallowing the exception without passing it up to the caller. IMHO a library should either: # catch an (expected) exception and handle it appropriately and completely, or
>  # do nothing and pass the exception up to the caller.
> Logging the exception as a warning then carrying on as though nothing happened isn't usually a good idea. In this particular case, Thrift's slf4j log output wasn't being captured by our application's logging setup. Because this exception was effectively being swallowed we weren't aware anything was amiss until we configured an slf4j bridge for unrelated reasons, which resulted in a huge large number of these Thrift warnings appearing in our logging.
