Yes. 5 MB on-the-wire. The gRPC server will decompress the payload automatically for the server. 2.

I'll note that the server's *response* will be independently compressed (or not). Whether a client sends a compressed request does not impact whether the response is compressed. 3.

The tracing system in Java gets to see the wire vs uncompressed sizes for the messages. I can't say whether Prometheus has plugged into this functionality. But see ClientStreamTracer/ServerStreamTracer. If you want to do a quick-and-dirty test, decide whether you want to test on the client or server, implement a tracer (I'd just have it call System.out.println), and then enable it via ClientInterceptor+CallOptions.withStreamTracerFactory() or ServerBuilder.addStreamTracerFactory(). -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "grpc.io" group.
