response content length problem

[tiswo]

hi，I found that when the leader responds to the request of the follower node, the length of protobuf is uint16, which causes the content to be truncated when the number of query lines is large。

The code is in the in the file cluster/service.go handleconn method

Yes, I noticed that recently and should address ASAP. Unfortunate bug.

Are you actually generating responses larger than 64K, or is this just hypothetical? You could work around it by directly querying the leader at all times.

#909 will bump the max size to 4MB. I can't go bigger without a backwards-incompatible change, so anything larger will have to wait until 7.0 (or fork the code yourself and modify).

And thanks, @tiswong, for the report.

Will be fixed in 6.6.2.
