Intermittent BUFFER_SHORTAGE errors
See original GitHub issueI have no idea what triggers this error, but every so often, when decoding (apparently large) msgpack data, the BUFFER_SHORTAGE error gets thrown.
Why does this happen? Is this a bug?

I ended up here trying to debug what ended up being an encoding problem. My one suggestion is that “BUFFER_SHORTAGE” is perhaps not a very good error message. I would recommend something like “BUFFER_TOO_SHORT” instead, since “BUFFER_SHORTAGE” make it sound like something is having trouble allocating a buffer, due to memory constraints, or something. You don’t have a shortage of buffers in this case - you have a buffer that is too short.
Yeah, this isn’t an issue with
