Description

Apache Thrift 0.9.2 was released recently (https://thrift.apache.org/download). It has a fix for THRIFT-2660 which can cause HS2 (tcp mode) and Metastore processes to go OOM on getting a non-thrift request when they use SASL transport. The reason (thrift code):

  protected SaslResponse receiveSaslMessage() throws TTransportException {
    underlyingTransport.readAll(messageHeader, 0, messageHeader.length);

    byte statusByte = messageHeader[0];
    byte[] payload = new byte[EncodingUtils.decodeBigEndian(messageHeader, STATUS_BYTES)];
    underlyingTransport.readAll(payload, 0, payload.length);

    NegotiationStatus status = NegotiationStatus.byValue(statusByte);
    if (status == null) {
      sendAndThrowMessage(NegotiationStatus.ERROR, "Invalid status " + statusByte);
    } else if (status == NegotiationStatus.BAD || status == NegotiationStatus.ERROR) {
      try {
        String remoteMessage = new String(payload, "UTF-8");
        throw new TTransportException("Peer indicated failure: " + remoteMessage);
      } catch (UnsupportedEncodingException e) {
        throw new TTransportException(e);
      }
    }

Basically since there are no message format checks / size checks before creating the byte array, on getting a non-SASL message this creates a huge
byte array from some garbage size.

For HS2, an attempt was made to fix it here: HIVE-6468, which never went in. I think for 0.15.0 it's best to upgarde to Thrift 0.9.2.
