> //background
> A serious issue occured in our prod env and finally it came out to be the changement of some fields in an IDL file, old client still requested new server and crashed due to OOM.
> IDL changement could be stated as: Return value of the interface is a list, element of which is a struct object and has 5 fields. A new field is added to the middle of the struct.
> // to reproduce
> In this case a low concurency of 10 will reproduce this issue, you could find a demo project on: [https://github.com/aqingsao/thrift-oom]
> // reason
> Thrift tries to consume all data in inputstream by skipping fields that are redundant or have a type mismatch. But it won't consume subsequent fields if there's an exception.
> In such a case Thrift does nothing the underlying inputstream, so trouble comes to the next request who reuses this connection, as the cursor still points to some middle position of the inputstream.
> As Thrift always starts with a readI32() method for any response, which means the length of the method's name. Unbelievable the length could be as large as 184549632, which is about 176M. This explains why OOM occurs even at a concurrency of 10
> // how to fix
> Always clear inputstream in TSocket if there are any redundant data at the end of a method call.
> I'll submit a PR soon for Java version.
