Do we have a way to set grpc client max size

[a7744hsc]

When calling a method with a response bigger than 4M, I got the following error:

{
  "error": "8 RESOURCE_EXHAUSTED: Received message larger than max (5679988 vs. 4194304)"
}

Do we have a way to set the max response size of grpc client?

At the moment there is no way to set the max response size but probably we can just disable the response size all together what do u think?

[a7744hsc]

Disable the response size limitation will solve my problem. But I wonder why GRPC has this option and if it is needed in some specific use case (I am not a grpc expert).

I am getting this error too, was this fixed in a newer release?

This is a restriction on grpc server side, not client side

Hi @jackielii , the max message size is a client side setting. See for example for Java client: https://grpc.github.io/grpc-java/javadoc/io/grpc/ManagedChannelBuilder.html#maxInboundMessageSize-int- and this for C++ client: https://grpc.github.io/grpc/cpp/classgrpc_1_1_channel_arguments.html#a2629f85664dd2822fe54059c4730baf8

Can you please reopen this issue ?

Hi guys, any update for this issue?

+1, removing it altogether will certainly work as a workaround.

It would be useful to be able to set any of the gRPC channel arguments via a configuration that overrides the defaults.

Hi, having the same problem. When using bloomRPC I get:

{
  "error": "8 RESOURCE_EXHAUSTED: Received message larger than max (5477912 vs. 4194304)"
}

My own python client that set grpc.max_receive_message_length work as expected.

Having same problem with max receive size limitation. seems Bloom RPC just using default max receive size. I am using gRPC ecosystem Golang. if you guys using this then want a workaround, you can configure in gRPC gateway configuration and using REST platform instead to call the API (e.g: Postman, cURL, etc).

import "google.golang.org/grpc"
...
var opts []grpc.DialOption

maxReceiveMessageSize := 1024 * 1024 * n // change this with your desired size in MB
opts = append(opts, grpc.WithDefaultCallOptions(grpc.MaxCallRecvMsgSize(maxReceiveMessageSize)))

dial, err := grpc.Dial(svrOpt.Addr, opts...)
if err != nil {
	panic(err)
}
...
