Add BatchSize parameter to WatchEvent
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
When dealing with large BGP instances, the path list can be so large it
makes a response message larger than the gRPC max message size.

This adds a BatchSize field to the request to send at most BatchSize
paths in a single WatchEventResponse message, greatly limiting the size
of each stream item.

For reference, this was hit on a production BGP-EVPN instances with over
80k paths.

    # gobgp mon --current global rib -a evpn
    rpc error: code = ResourceExhausted desc = grpc: received message larger than max (140281387 vs. 4194304)

Setting a batch size allows us to get the current full table without
resorting to ListPaths calls, with all the synchronization issues that
ensues. This is pretty important because the limit can be reached quite
quickly: we observed single paths well over 15kB on the wire, and even a
batch size of 4096 leads to oversized messages (already a far cry from
the 80k of the default implementation).
