bigtable table.getRows() method throws error "Received message larger than max" to its callback

[SenthilKumartd]

Hi,
While calling table.getRows() using bigtable throws the following error to its callback parameter:
"Received message larger than max"

This error seems, there is a limitation of 4MB in each return. How could i overcome this error while getting this kind of large amount of data in a single fetch from BigTable.

Regards,
Senthil

Hi @SenthilKumartd, thanks for reporting.
There is a default maximum message size of 4 MB in GRPC, but this can be overridden. We will look into adding this to the BigTable client.

For my own reference, I am referring to the Python folks' discussion and PR for this.

Discussing in triage: This may or may not be fixable depending on whether the max option can be passed to GRPC in the non-GAPICs.

Hi, any updates on this issue?

We have removed the maximum message size: https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/google-cloud-node/blob/8af56e9d0167125800457bcb65ccc8bea23f89de/packages/common-grpc/src/service.js#L139

New installations of gRPC-using APIs will have this behavior. Please let me know if anyone is still seeing this issue.
