[jira] [Created] (THRIFT-5490) Improve memory efficiency in go THeader implementation

Yuxuan Wang created THRIFT-5490:
-----------------------------------

             Summary: Improve memory efficiency in go THeader implementation
                 Key: THRIFT-5490
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/THRIFT-5490
             Project: Thrift
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Go - Library
            Reporter: Yuxuan Wang


Currently in go's THeaderTransport implementation, due to THeader's framed nature, there are 2 buffers used, one for read and one for write. The 2 buffers are part of THeaderTransport and have the same lifecycle with the transport itself.

This caused an issue with idle connections (e.g. connections sitting in a pool). For idle connections, their buffers were grew to handle the request/response, but never shrink, even when the connection is sitting in idle. So when a connection pool is used, every idle connection sitting in the pool has a memory profile of largest read + largest write they have ever had in their whole lifecycle, and when we have a server handling large request/response payloads with a lot of idle connections, the memory footprint can grow significant.

We should use a resource pool, and return the buffers to the pool after done reading/writing, to better manage memory footprint.
