Java API get negative messageLength

[asfimport]

when I call  ArrowStreamReader.vectorSchemaRoot(),  

{{: (-520103681 < 0) 2020-11-09 07:09:07,033 ERROR ........MyModule - Error stack trace java.base/java.nio.

....shaded.arrow.vector.ipc.ArrowReader.ensureInitialized(ArrowReader.java:161)}}

....shaded.arrow.vector.ipc.ArrowReader.getVectorSchemaRoot(ArrowReader.java:63)

 

 

The messageLength is negative, code is in MessageSerializer.java

 

messageLength = MessageSerializer.bytesToInt(buffer.array());``

 

and error is raised in 

 

ByteBuffer messageBuffer = ByteBuffer.allocate(messageLength);``

 

I tried to use minimal reproduce code to reproduce the error but I could not reproduce it. So any ideas that when can it get negative messageLength?  This error occurs occasionally in my program.

I think this is stale; we can reopen if we have a reproducer.
