    Description

      Whenever a buffer from a THttpClient is set to nil, any subsequent attempts to write to the connection will result in a panic.

      Regardless of how the buffer ended up in a nil state, it is a better approach to handle the error in the call to the Write than to have the program panic.

      We've been hitting this issue once in a while and it's been difficult to replicate but here is some sanitized relevant stack trace:

       

       panic(0x1446380, 0x1fcff90)
       	/usr/local/go/src/runtime/panic.go:491 +0x283
       bytes.(*Buffer).Write(0x0, 0xc42143b000, 0x87, 0x1000, 0x1, 0x0, 0x0)

       	/go/src/github.company.com/project/internal-project-prod/vendor/github.com/apache/thrift/lib/go/thrift/json_protocol.go:440 +0x36
       github.company.com/project/internal-project-prod/vendor/github.com/apache/thrift/lib/go/thrift.(*TStandardClient).Send(0xc420e55020, 0x1f8d4c0, 0xc420016088, 0x1f9b720, 0xc4203562d0, 0x11, 0x1655325, 0xe, 0x1f7f500, 0xc420360020, ...)
      

      followed by the root cause of the panic:

      runtime error: invalid memory address or nil pointer dereference
      

      I have a patch I'm testing out. I would love some feedback on it.
