Hi, I've been working a lot with the Hadoop NameNode IPC protocol (while building a cache layer on top of Hadoop). I've noticed that for request packets coming from the default DFS client that do not have a method name, the length field is often *completely *off.
For example, I've been looking at packets with length 1752330339. I thought this might have been an issue with my cache layer, so I checked with Wireshark, and found packets with such absurd length parameters (obviously, the packets themselves weren't actually that long; the length field was misrepresented). Unfortunately, I haven't had the opportunity to test this issue on other machines and setups (the reproducing steps should be running an "ls /" with the default DFS client and sniffing the packets to find the length parameter, release 1.2.1). Is this normal behavior, a bug or something I'm missing? Thank you, Dhaivat
