Re: Packet for query is too large

Hi Sebastian,

The problem is that you cannot set the maxAllowedPacket on the client side to be smaller than 4739923 (the apparent size of packets exchanged during server handshake process). The test for this is done entirely on the client side, meaning the server has already sent a packet advertizing itself as 4739923 bytes in length, and Connector/J refuses to process it because it exceeds the configured maxAllowedPacket you defined.

The stack trace provided indicates that this is happening during the initial handshake, which is pretty odd. A quick code inspection suggests that maxAllowedPacket isn't currently sent to the server in the handshake (where it normally would be sent to limit responses), and that a value of 16581375 (255 * 255 * 255) is always sent. That would explain why the server sent a larger packet; Connector/J never told it otherwise. I think this behavior is a bug, but checking with the active developers to get their thoughts. In the interim, you may need to increase maxAllowedPacket (it appears to not be guarding against what is actually being sent by the server as is).

Hope that helps.
