Ref T4276. When a change is larger than 2GB, PHP can not read the entire change into a string, so Herald can not process it.
Additionally, we already have a time limit for practical reasons, but it's huge (probably incorrectly). To deal with these things:
- Add an optional byte limit to diffusion.rawdiffquery.
- Make the query with a 1GB limit.
- Reduce the diff timeout from 15 hours to 15 minutes.
- Add a "Changeset is enormous" field. This field is true for changes which are too large to process.
This generally makes behaviors more sane:
- We'll always make progress in Herald in a reasonable amount of time.
- Installs can write global rules to handle (or reject) these types of changes.
