High memory usage when uploading large file.

Env: Nodejs v8.9.1, googleapis v28.1.0, Windows 10. I tried to upload a large files around 2GB, I notice that the process is up to 3GB RAM. My code upload that file to Drive successful on 8GB ram system, failed on 1GB ram system.

      var fileMetadata = {
         "name": fileName
      }

      var media = {
          mimeType: mineType,
          body: fs.createReadStream(path)
      }

      self.drive.files.insert({
          resource: fileMetadata,
          media: media,
          fields: "id"
      }, function (err, file) {
        if (err) {
          logger.error("Error: " + err.message)
        }
        logger.info("Finished, id: " + file.data.id)
      })

Pretty sure we have this fixed on master, and it’s going to be in v37 😃

Did you try using maxRedirects: 0, works fine for me. Should look somewhat like this:

google.youtube('v3')["videos"]["insert"](
	{
		auth: oauth2Client,
		part: 'id,snippet,status',
		requestBody:requestBody,
		media:
		{
			body: readStream
		}
	},
	{
		maxContentLength: 128 * 1024 * 1024 * 1024,
		maxRedirects: 0
	});
