It's not a killer but its another step which could be skipped if we could return larger result sets https://openwhisk-team.slack.com/archives/C3TPCAQG1/p1579706061040300?thread_ts=1579706061.040300&cid=C3TPCAQG1 ---- 2020-01-22 15:14:37 UTC - Tom Barber: (Not asking for a change, just looking for some feedback that I can pass back up the chain) https://openwhisk-team.slack.com/archives/C3TPCAQG1/p1579706077040800 ---- 2020-01-22 15:37:27 UTC - Rodric Rabbah: for an on prem deployment you can configure this https://openwhisk-team.slack.com/archives/C3TPCAQG1/p1579707447040900?thread_ts=1579706061.040300&cid=C3TPCAQG1 ---- 2020-01-22 15:37:37 UTC - Rodric Rabbah: i think ibm cloud uses 3mb? maybe it’s higher now https://openwhisk-team.slack.com/archives/C3TPCAQG1/p1579707457041100?thread_ts=1579706061.040300&cid=C3TPCAQG1 ---- 2020-01-22 15:38:41 UTC - dan mcweeney: IIRC this is because of how the data produced from the activation is handled internally. That whole blob of data is read fully into memory in the invoker. Then fully read into memory in the controller to respond. This can consume a huge amount of memory across the whole system if you hit it with a lot of actions that produce large payloads. So setting it to like 1gb isn't a good idea. https://openwhisk-team.slack.com/archives/C3TPCAQG1/p1579707521041300?thread_ts=1579706061.040300&cid=C3TPCAQG1 ---- 2020-01-22 15:44:59 UTC - Tom Barber: hmmm the datasets aren't huge, but more than 1mb <https://github.com/apache/openwhisk/blob/master/docs/reference.md> https://openwhisk-team.slack.com/archives/C3TPCAQG1/p1579707899041500?thread_ts=1579706061.040300&cid=C3TPCAQG1 ---- 2020-01-22 15:45:05 UTC - Tom Barber: but here it says fixed... https://openwhisk-team.slack.com/archives/C3TPCAQG1/p1579707905041700?thread_ts=1579706061.040300&cid=C3TPCAQG1 ---- 2020-01-22 15:45:10 UTC - Tom Barber: is fixed not really fixed? :slightly_smiling_face: https://openwhisk-team.slack.com/archives/C3TPCAQG1/p1579707910041900?thread_ts=1579706061.040300&cid=C3TPCAQG1 ---- 2020-01-22 15:53:28 UTC - dan mcweeney: Yea, pretty sure that can be configured... let me look. https://openwhisk-team.slack.com/archives/C3TPCAQG1/p1579708408042100?thread_ts=1579706061.040300&cid=C3TPCAQG1 ---- 2020-01-22 15:58:14 UTC - Tom Barber: thanks https://openwhisk-team.slack.com/archives/C3TPCAQG1/p1579708694042400?thread_ts=1579706061.040300&cid=C3TPCAQG1 ---- 2020-01-22 16:19:36 UTC - dan mcweeney: `whisk.activation.payload.max` via: <https://github.com/apache/openwhisk/blob/master/common/scala/src/main/scala/org/apache/openwhisk/core/entity/ActivationEntityLimit.scala> https://openwhisk-team.slack.com/archives/C3TPCAQG1/p1579709976042600?thread_ts=1579706061.040300&cid=C3TPCAQG1 ---- 2020-01-22 16:19:43 UTC - dan mcweeney: Sorry got sucked into something else for a bit.
