I read this message: https://groups.google.com/g/protobuf/c/f-mKyzyeySI/m/Yzn0yywKAgAJ , but I wonder what is the current best-practice.
The protocol buffer docs <https://protobuf.dev/programming-guides/techniques/#large-data>say: " Protocol Buffers are not designed to handle large messages. As a general rule of thumb, if you are dealing in messages larger than a megabyte each, it may be time to consider an alternate strategy." Does this refer to a message containing a single data-block (as opposed to a repeated message), or to any message defined in the schema? For example, if my schema is: message Location { float x = 1; float y = 2; float z = 3; } message LocationArray { repeated Location row = 1; } message Locations { repeated LocationArray car = 1; repeated LocationArray boat = 2; } Does the size limit best-practice refers to each "Location", or the the whole upper level " Locations"? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Protocol Buffers" group.
