But, Openwhisk only has a system limit for action shared by all namespaces. +There is no way to adjust the action limit for a few users, and changing the action limit setting will affect all users. + +In some private environments, you can operate Openwhisk more flexibly by providing different action limits. +(For example, providing high memory only to some users.) + +``` + 256M 512M + + │ namespace default limit │ + ▼ ▼ + ┌──────────┬──────────────────────────────────┬────────────┬────────────────────────┐ + │ │┼┼┼┼┼┼┼┼┼┼┼┼┼┼┼┼┼┼┼┼┼┼┼┼┼┼┼┼┼┼┼┼┼┼│----------► │ │ + └──────────┴──────────────────────────────────┴────────────┴────────────────────────┘ + ▲ ▲ ▲ + │ system limit │ namespace limit │ system limit + +128M 1024M 2048M +``` + +## Proposed changes + +### 3 types of action limits + +There was only a system limit shared by all namespaces, but two more concepts for namespace limits are added. + +- (1) system limit: It can never be exceeded under any circumstances. +- (2) namespace default limit: It can be used if a limit has not been set for a namespace. +- (3) namespace limit: It can be set by a system administrator for a namespace and cannot exceed the range of the system limit. + +### Limit configs for namespace + +- The maxParameterSize, maxPayloadSize and truncationSize values are treated as `ByteSize` string.

Review Comment: Now if it's the owners of an individual namespace that can tune these min / max values, then that's definitely a problem to hand them the keys to wskadmin. I don't think that's what's being proposed here though -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
