Blocker Description
There is a very narrow race in the outbound channel of the network library. While netty guarantees that the inbound channel is thread-safe, the same is not true for the outbound channel: multiple threads can be writing and running the pipeline at the same time.
This leads to an issue with MessageEncoder and the optimization it performs for zero-copy of file data: since a single RPC can be broken into multiple buffers (for , example when replying to a chunk request), if you have multiple threads writing these RPCs then they can be mixed up in the final socket. That breaks framing and will cause the receiving side to not understand the messages.
Patch coming up shortly.
