There is ongoing community discussion about applying a memory limiter extension (open-telemetry/opentelemetry-collector#9591), but no indication of timeline until PR's that apply the extension can be merged. This PR forks configgrpc and applies the PR (open-telemetry/opentelemetry-collector#9673) which allows a grpc server to configure a memorylimiterextension.
We have reliability issues with our collectors that customers are consistently noticing which started out as major issues with the
exporterhelper
. Forking this code unblocks our continued work to improve collector reliability by allowing us to limit the amount of memory a receiver can hold.
