We send messages up to 50MB. Since Thrift encodes data pretty efficiently on the wire, you don't have to worry about a lot of overhead (e.g. from Base64 encoding in some XML format).
The only real limits would be your transport layer and how much memory you have on both sides to marshal and unmarshal the corresponding objects and any temporary buffers. We have seen some issues with mobile phones that can't easily juggle 4 copies of a 50MB data structure.

Are there any known message size limitations imposed by thrift, or at least a recommended maximum size (bytes)? Has any investigation been done to discover what an average max size being transferred by most thrift users is? Thanks!
