@nmittler - FYI.  There is some info in section [5.1.1](https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-httpbis-http2-14#section-5.1.1) related to this condition.
 For the writer portion of this it is also possible we put this responsibility on the users of the http2-codec?  The http translation layer does allow users to specify streams, but may need some work in the case that stream ids are not provided by the user.  WDYT?
 @Scottmitch The way it works now, an Http2Exception will be thrown when you try to create a stream after you've reached MAX_INT: https://github.com/netty/netty/blob/master/codec-http2/src/main/java/io/netty/handler/codec/http2/DefaultHttp2Connection.java#L725

An application with access to the Http2Connection can always do their own verification before they attempt to create a stream so that the Http2Exception isn't thrown.
 @nmittler - Good point...missed that.  Should this be a protocol error or a GOAWAY as suggested in [5.1.1](https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-httpbis-http2-14#section-5.1.1)?

I agree on the second point.
 Throwing an Http2Exception (i.e. connection error) when reading an inbound frame will result in a GO_AWAY, since onConnectionError will be called: https://github.com/netty/netty/blob/master/codec-http2/src/main/java/io/netty/handler/codec/http2/Http2ConnectionHandler.java#L287
 @nmittler - Well then looks like you are a couple step ahead of me ;)  Sorry for the noise.
 @Scottmitch no worries! Keep the bugs coming! :)
 @nmittler - Wait just a second... I think there is an issue here.  The protocol error never gets triggered because of an IndexOutOfBoundsException which originates from here https://github.com/netty/netty/blob/master/codec-http2/src/main/java/io/netty/handler/codec/http2/DefaultHttp2Connection.java#L126 when the stream id wraps around and becomes negative.  The root cause seems to be the `index` variable here is `-1` https://github.com/netty/netty/blob/d35ddf0648f06c726c7d6a2eb1ccd7e65ed5564c/common/src/main/java/io/netty/util/collection/IntObjectHashMap.java#L296 which seems to be because of the modulus operation here is not playing nice with negative values https://github.com/netty/netty/blob/d35ddf0648f06c726c7d6a2eb1ccd7e65ed5564c/common/src/main/java/io/netty/util/collection/IntObjectHashMap.java#L315.
 @Scottmitch good catch!  We should add a unit test for IntObjectHashMap for this.  Do you want to fix or should I?
 @nmittler - Unless you have objections I'll let you take this one ;)
 @Scottmitch created #3028 to address this.
 @Scottmitch anything else that needs to be done here?
 @nmittler - O yah I may have been a bit optimistic/premature on the closing of this issue. I had to rebase/rebuild my 3 PRs that I am using.  I am about to try and see the behavior after the build completes.
 @nmittler - Behavior looks good.  Protocol exception is now being hit.  May be a good idea to add a unit test for this. WDYT?
 @Scottmitch good idea .... since you're already in there, would you mind taking a crack at it?
 @nmittler sure
 @nmittler - I think we can leave this closed.  Thanks for your help!
 @nmittler - After doing some more testing (and paying attention a bit more) on the write side we are not sending the GOAWAY in this condition.  Should we be?  Thoughts?
 @nmittler - The promise gets correctly set here: https://github.com/netty/netty/blob/master/codec-http2/src/main/java/io/netty/handler/codec/http2/DefaultHttp2ConnectionEncoder.java#L242 but the exception never reaches `onConnectionError`.
 @Scottmitch right, for encoding it's a different situtation ... we just fail the promise.  The exception is for decoding.  Is that not what you would expect?
 @nmittler - Not sure..My current rational is the codec is already checking for this condition and is their any alternative outcome (from a http2 protocol point of view) other than sending the goaway?  I can easily detect outside the codec but what do you think?
 @Scottmitch I think for this particular error, that it does make sense to send a GO_AWAY on the writing side, since no more streams can be created. Other protocol violations that occur during writing should probably just fail the promise, however.  WDYT?
 I agree.  This is the only exception I can think of at the moment that may result in special action on the write side.
 @nmittler - How do you want to handle this?  One way would be to make a subclass of `Http2Exception` and check for it in `DefaultHttp2ConnectionEncoder.writeHeaders` catch clause.
 @Scottmitch that seems reasonable to me.
 @nmittler - PR is forthcoming...
 @nmittler PR https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/3034 was submitted to resolve this issue.
 Cherry picked #3034 

@nmittler - Can you verify this change...I think this was a bug.
 @nmittler - Note that I had an argument capture here to free the debug buffer but it is already freed.
 @Scottmitch oof yeah I think you're right.  Good catch!
 I don't think we should catch it here.  We should catch it in the encoder/decoder and call the lifecycle manager to write the GO_AWAY.
 I don't think this belongs here.
 I think we should revert this ... lifecycle manager (i.e. connection handler) is in charge of this.
 @Scottmitch I think that's fine.
 @nmittler - I agree...I was initially looking to use the `lifecycleManager` but for some reason thought it was only available at the `Http2ConnectionHandler` level.

Can you clarify the following:

> We should catch it in the encoder/decoder
 Agreed...miss on my part.
 Agreed.

HTTP/2 stream id roll over behavior
It does not look like there is any code to handle the case where stream IDs roll over the largest number.  What is the expected behavior in this condition?  The client may want to open a new connection in this case to continue issuing requests.

Should this condition be checked for incoming and outgoing frames?
