Does anyone have any experience using ZeroMQ with larger messages? For instance if you need to send messages that are several megabytes for rpc style calls.
I just remember seeing anecdotal comments about it not working well, but never really dug into whether that was sound.
- schrodinger 13y agoWhy not use a secondary storage for the large chunks of data, and pass a unique identifier to zeromq?
- Figs 13y agoI've used it to stream an uncompressed video feed (essentially a special purpose webcam) over LAN as a quick and dirty solution for a research project. It worked out ok after I set a high water mark and forced it to drop data when it couldn't keep up. Before I figured that out, messages tended to pile up and crash my process by exhausting memory. Can't say I'd recommend it, but it can be done, depending on the needs of your project.
