Question: What would be the best way to batch to workaround gRPC message size limitation

[rchoffardet]

Hello,
Firstly, thanks for your awesome library 🙌
I have a use case when I send back a huge payload (basically an equivalent of a huge number of lines from a database table).
Obviously, I'm hitting the limit of 4MB, and to batch efficiently, I'm seeking a way to determine what size would take the current batch (and if I need to send it immediately or if I can stack more rows).

In gRPC/protobuf, it's possible to workaround it by using CalculateSize() but I can't find a way to do this with MagicOnion.
Would you know of a way to achieve this?

Regards,
Robin

The MessagePack library does not appear to have a method for calculating size.
On the other hand, if the payload is large enough that it is difficult to predict, you can use ServerStreaming to split it into chunks and return them.

We apologize for the lack of documentation, but a simple sample code is available at the following URL:
