Hi Matan, As Luis pointed out, the configuration that sets the remoting frame-size limit is akka.remote.netty.tcp.maximum-frame-size. If messages exceed this limit they will be dropped and logged. As for checking the size of your messages, you should use a serializer in remoting that allows you to carefully control the size of your messages. Protobuf is quite OK for that but Java serialization is very unpredictable in this regard.
As for transferring large messages, fragmentation is considered good practice even if we are not talking about Akka. Another option is to open up a dedicated side-channel (e.g. a TCP based server using akka.io) and use it for transferring large amount of data, and use akka remoting as the control channel. -Endre On Sat, Jun 14, 2014 at 8:22 PM, Luis Medina <[email protected]> wrote: > I can only speak to your first question.
