[jira] Created: (THRIFT-967) Passing invalid parameters to thrift makes it unusable

Passing invalid parameters to thrift makes it unusable
------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: THRIFT-967
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/THRIFT-967
             Project: Thrift
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Python - Library
            Reporter: Brandon Williams
             Fix For: 0.5


In telephus, a wrapper for cassandra, we have a test that passes an integer where a string is required: http://github.com/driftx/Telephus/blob/unstable/test/test_cassandraclient.py#L270

The point of this test is to ensure that telephus throws the connection away (because it's no longer unusable) and makes new ones to recover.  However, this is impossible as thrift itself becomes unusable afterwards.  Client calls never respond after this, and on the server we see:

ERROR 19:27:01,831 Thrift error occurred during processing of message.
org.apache.thrift.protocol.TProtocolException: Missing version in readMessageBegin, old client?
        at org.apache.thrift.protocol.TBinaryProtocol.readMessageBegin(TBinaryProtocol.java:211)
        at org.apache.cassandra.thrift.Cassandra$Processor.process(Cassandra.java:2542)
        at org.apache.cassandra.thrift.CustomTThreadPoolServer$WorkerProcess.run(CustomTThreadPoolServer.java:167)
        at java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor$Worker.runTask(ThreadPoolExecutor.java:886)
        at java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor$Worker.run(ThreadPoolExecutor.java:908)
        at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:619)

When using the accelerated protocol.  With the unaccelerated protocol, we get a different error:

ERROR [pool-1-thread-4] 2010-10-24 19:28:15,146 CustomTThreadPoolServer.java (line 175) Thrift error occurred during processing of message.
org.apache.thrift.TException: Negative length: -2147418111

    at org.apache.thrift.protocol.TBinaryProtocol.readBinary(TBinaryProtocol.java:361)

    at java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor$Worker.run(ThreadPoolExecutor.java:908)
    at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:619)

The python process has to be restarted for any calls to succeed again.
