How to set SetMaxMessageSize / frame size in node.js?

[1N50MN14]

I'm trying to send about 2MB of binary data but I keep getting the error RESOURCE_EXHAUSTED, when I lower the size of the message to few hundred kb's it works just fine (I'm 100% sure this is what's causing it).

I went through server.js line by line - not a single reference on how to accomplish that.

Help? ;)

any feedback on this issue...?

It looks like you can increase the max size of messages that you send by setting the option "grpc.max_send_message_length". That takes an integer value indicating the number of bytes. There is a similar option "grpc.max_receive_message_length" for receiving messages.

Thanks @murgatroid99, is that a global setting? as in

var grpc = require('grpc');
grpc.max_send_message_length = 1024*1024*1024; //assuming server

[murgatroid99]

No, it's a server option. So, you would do

var server = new grpc.Server({'grpc.max_send_message_length': 1024*1024*1024})

I know that looks kind of weird. It's an unfortunate result of how the different parts of gRPC are layered together.

@murgatroid99 Got it, thank you, just glad it can be accomplished alltogether ;)

Closing issue for now will reopen should I encounter any problems.

@murgatroid99 Sorry how do I pass the client setting given

var client = new proto.Service(uri, grpc.credentials.createInsecure())

Is that a third argument?

[murgatroid99]

Yes, the same options map should be the third argument there.
