Hi, I am trying to use Avro RPC and have a python client talk to a java server, using the avro-rpc-quickstart <https://github.com/phunt/avro-rpc-quickstart> on github as a base (I made sure the avro version being pulled in was 1.7.4). However when I get my python client to talk to the java server I see this error:
2013-05-20 19:38:32,512 (pool-5-thread-2) [WARN - org.apache.avro.ipc.NettyServer$NettyServerAvroHandler.exceptionCaught(NettyServer.java:201)] Unexpected exception from downstream. org.apache.avro.AvroRuntimeException: Excessively large list allocation request detected: 539959368 items!

I was wondering, what are my options for moving forward, other than getting the java server to use the HTTPTransceiver? Apologies if I have overlooked something that points out what I can do. Cheers, Stefan
