[rabbitmq-discuss] Large Message Timeout on Receive

[Emile Joubert]

Ryan,

The .net client currently imposes an arbitrary limit of 32Mb on incoming 
messages. If you exceed this size then a BodyTooLongException will be 
thrown. Modifying this limit involves changing 
MaximumPermittedReceivableBodySize in ContentHeaderBase and recompiling.

In attempting to replicate your results on commodity hardware I was able 
to send and receive messages of up to 500Mb before the client ran out of 
RAM. Transfers took a few seconds and BasicGet never failed to return.

Can you confirm whether there was any network activity on port 5672 
while waiting for BasicGet?
Also, what is the output of "rabbitmqctl list_queues messages_ready 
messages_unacknowledged memory" on the broker?


Regards

Emile
