Jonathan Ellis reassigned CASSANDRA-475:
----------------------------------------

    Assignee: Nate McCall  (was: Brandon Williams)

looks like we need to set a transport max length and a protocol read length (besides upgrading to a new thrift jar).

unclear if these would prohibit using large binary column values.  may need to make them configurable.  (would transport length be read length + some overhead?  or is transport length just a buffer size that we can leave at some reasonably safe value and is transparent to the rest?)

> Use dd if=/dev/urandom count=1 | nc $host 9160 as a handy recipe for shutting a cassandra instance down. 
> Thrift has spoken (see THRIFT-601), but "Don't Do That" is probably an insufficient answer for our users.
