             Summary: Improve ZK Client resiliency by throwing a jute.maxbuffer size exception before sending a request to server
                 Key: ZOOKEEPER-3129
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ZOOKEEPER-3129
             Project: ZooKeeper
          Issue Type: Improvement
            Reporter: Karan Mehta


Zookeeper is mostly operated in controlled environments and the client/server properties are usually known. With this Jira, I would like to propose a new property on client side that represents the max jute buffer size server is going to accept.

On the ZKClient, in case of multi Op, the request is serialized and hence we know the size of complete packet that will be sent. We can use this new property to determine if the we are exceeding the limit and throw some form of KeeperException. This would be fail fast mechanism and the application can potentially retry by chunking up the request or serializing.

Since the same properties are now present in two locations, over time, two possibilities can happen.

-- Server jutebuffer accepts value is more than what is specified on client side

The application might end up serializing it or zkclient can be made configurable to retry even when it gets this exception

-- Server jutebuffer accepts value is lower than what is specified on client side

That would have failed previously as well, so there is no change in behavior

This would help silent failures like HBASE-18549 getting avoided.
