05/08/2019, 7:12 PMit would. but the client might still want to be able to cap it.

05/08/2019, 7:13 PMwhen i say "high by default", i mean "~1000" probably

05/08/2019, 7:14 PMwhy would a client want to cap local process executions?

05/08/2019, 7:14 PMhopefully drastically less resources, but.

05/08/2019, 7:15 PMwhy would the client want to cap remote executions? it seems like that's a setting we'd really want the backend to handle by itself

05/08/2019, 7:21 PMdiscussed offline: the missing piece in my comment above was: "remote process executions still take some amount of local resources"

05/09/2019, 6:33 PMoptimizing this in the future will remain very interesting, and it looks like the bazel remote execution api working group is looking into architecture to improve the performance these kinds of interactions already and that's quite interesting/promising
