    Description

      Problem
      For multi operation, PrepRequestProcessor may produce a large transaction whose size may be larger than the max buffer size of jute. There is check of buffer size in readBuffer method of BinaryInputArchive, but no check in writeBuffer method of BinaryOutputArchive, which will cause that

      1, Leader can sync transaction to txn log and send the large transaction to the followers, but the followers failed to read the transaction and can't sync with leader.

      2015-01-04,12:42:26,474 WARN org.apache.zookeeper.server.quorum.Learner: [myid:2] Exception when following the leader

      2, The leader lose all followers, which trigger the leader election. The old leader will become leader again for it has up-to-date data.

      3, The leader can not load the transaction from the txn log for the length of data is larger than the max buffer of jute.

      The zookeeper service will be unavailable until we enlarge the jute.maxbuffer and restart zookeeper hbase cluster.

      Solution
      Add buffer size check in BinaryOutputArchive to avoid large transaction be written to log and sent to followers.

      But I am not sure if there are side-effects of throwing an IOException in BinaryOutputArchive and RequestProcessors
