Research direction

Start by reviewing the linked discussions for issues #439, #440, and #414, then compare their proposed causes with the reported logger evidence: one-at-a-time posts under 105 KiB. The issue does not name files or tests; done would require identifying the cause of the RemoteDisconnected error and defining which connection, timeout, batching, or retry behavior needs changing.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

I've been running an algorithm for the last couple weeks and keep getting a 'RemoteDisconnected' error. The linked issue claims that the main cause of the issue is the large batch size. Through the logger I've confirmed that my posts are only 1 at a time, and the total size is less than 105KB (~1KiB). After reading through the other issues linked I'm unsure if they would help either, nor exactly how to implement them.

Is the connection error simply something that must be solved by fast, stable internet?

Original Issue:

Verified fix:

  • decrease default batch size to 10 (~5 MiB for 10 full Advantage-size problems)
  • ideally, limit batch size by payload bytes (default to 5 MiB)
  • decouple connect from read timeout (#440), and increase the default read timeout to 600 s
  • implement retry strategy from #414
