[serializer] MAX_SIZE of StreamOutput?

Hi, the serializer is great stuff I enjoy working with it. Question on the maximum size of StreamOutput: private static final int MAX_SIZE = 1 << 28; // 256MB Is the 256MB defined on purpose or just because it shouldn’t be unlimited? Thank you

Hello, @arsentiikaptsan RPC was designed for quick request/response communication (millions of requests per second). It is not suited for working with large data streams. As for processing large data, you can use the HTTP module (it is a separate module, not part of ActiveJ FS). By using HTTP request/response body ChannelSupplier you can process request data as a stream, one piece at a time. A more advanced solution is to use MessagingWithBinaryStreaming class that works on top of a raw TCP socket and allows working with socket data using CSP. You will have to design some protocol to exchange data between peers. You may take a look at ActiveFsServer and RemoteActiveFs as a reference. Although, we recommend sticking to the HTTP solution. ActiveJ provides one of the fastest Java HTTP client/server, which should be enough for most common applications. Turn to design your own protocol only if you are sure you need to squeeze every last drop of performance.

@schlangz You could use ActiveJ Serializer without StreamInput/Output. Just create a BinarySerializer and use it to serialize data to a byte array. You can look at serializer examples for reference.
