Re: pickle exhausted error when pulling from xcom

Hi,

The blob type in MySql is not very large, from my (also insufficient)
memory, it's 64kb. You probably want to alter the `pickle` field in your DB
to a MEDIUMBLOB or LONGBLOB.

Re: pickle exhausted error when pulling from xcom

Posted by "Clark, Louis" <LC...@intrexon.com>.
verified hack solution for this problem:
alter table xcom modify value MEDIUMBLOB;
‹> that alleviates the Œpickle exhausted¹ error for xcom.pull()

a longer term solution might involve using PickleType(length=...) to force
SqlAlchemy/MySQL to use something bigger around line 3162 in models.py.
See: 
http://docs.sqlalchemy.org/en/latest/core/type_basics.html#sqlalchemy.types

Re: pickle exhausted error when pulling from xcom

Posted by "Clark, Louis" <LC...@intrexon.com>.
thanks.  Yeah, looks like the only way to do it is to alter the table
directly.  Ugly.  The use of a blob vs something else appears to be
embedded in SqlAlchemy in PickleType.  Celery has had a similar problem:
<https://github.com/celery/celery/issues/461>.

thanks,
