Request timeout with a Cloud Function that returns large JSON payload

[bourquep]

I have a Cloud Function that returns a large JSON payload (~1 meg), and which worked fine until updating to v2.0.7, but now leads to a HTTP request timeout (30s) error.

Reverting commit 36675a9 makes it work again.

Looks like Parse._encode is doing some heavy processing on the JSON payload and is hanging my request.

Yes, I know...

I'm looking for other to correct the ParseObject JSON

Take a look of this bug: #112
and tha bug on parse-ha-sdk linked on it.

@bourquep Was this something which worked on hosted Parse or something new?. Maybe we could add a raw response method (if the response isn't parse objects)?

[bourquep]

Yes, it was working fine on hosted Parse. I have a lot of Cloud Functions that return "custom" JSON (array of non-Parse objects), and it's always been running smoothly on hosted Parse.

I could live with a raw response method if there is no other way.

[bourquep]

But if Parse._encode() is indeed doing a lot of data processing, it would probably cause request timeouts for cloud functions that return a large array of Parse objects, no? So it might be worthwhile fixing the root of the problem?

[laullon]

Can you measure the time of Parse._encode with your payload?

[bourquep]

Sure! I might only have time to do it next week though.

@gfosco can you please take a look of this parse-community/Parse-SDK-JS#199 ?

I still think the promblem is on the parse-SDK-JS...

[gfosco]

Any chance we can get a payload example to process, @bourquep ?

Going to close this.. If you can reproduce and provide more details with 2.1.3+ please create a new issue. Thanks.
