Handling of total_timeout in C aerospike client

Hi All,
Aerospike’s C client has handled socket closure from server side (by reaper/thr_demarshal_reaper_fn) properly.
It has not handled below case where response from server comes after timeout at client side. In this case, I am getting SEGFAULT with below trace.

(gdb) bt
#0 as_uv_command_buffer (handle=0x7facf80c6120, suggested_size=65536, buf=0x7fad508ef9d0) at src/main/aerospike/as_event_uv.c:256

(gdb) 

Lets consider following scenario.

  1. client has set total_timeout to 50 msec.
  2. server sleeps/takes 1 sec for transaction completion before putting response over socket.

libuv’s uv__read() would do alloc_cb which results in call to as_uv_command_buffer().

aerospike client should in this case first check whether as_uv_connection_alive() & then only should derefence cmd->buf.

handling of server response after total_timeout has happened. · Issue #88 · aerospike/aerospike-client-c · GitHub
