Daryn Sharp commented on HADOOP-9820:
-------------------------------------

Currently, yes, all RPC packets are wrapped and processed on the other side 
after unwrapping.  Therein lies the possible problem with sending control 
messages.

Let's say we do throw an exception as suggested.  If the server cannot unwrap 
the SASL data, the client unlikely to be able to unwrap.  The server would need 
to send a non-wrapped exception response to notify the client that wrapping 
isn't working, which this patch allows.

Perhaps a better approach is to only allow out-of-band RPC (negative callIds) 
to be sent unwrapped over a wrapped stream?

> RPCv9 is intended to allow future support of multiplexing.  This requires all 
> wire messages to be tagged with a RPC header so a demux can decode and route 
> the messages accordingly.
> RPC ping packets and SASL QOP wrapped data is known to not be tagged with a 
> header.
