How to increase message size in grpc using python

Question

I am using grpc for message passing and am testing a simple server and client. When my message size goes over the limit, I get this error.

grpc._channel._R         


        

Answer 1

Changing the message_length for both send and receive will do the trick.

channel = grpc.insecure_channel(
    'localhost:50051',
    options=[
        ('grpc.max_send_message_length', MAX_MESSAGE_LENGTH),
        ('grpc.max_receive_message_length', MAX_MESSAGE_LENGTH),
    ],
)
