HI,

We are facing crashes of confd when increasing scale.  
We are using maapi\_set\_values() to configure the CDB from a northbound application.  
We see that when we pass a certain limit of entities, confd crashes.  
We have 5K entities we want to set, so we do it in commit chunks of 0.5K.  
After reaching 1.5K, we are not able to continue above it.

Is there any limit confd has we should be aware of?  
We do not see any issue with memory, at least not from the environment (kubernetes).  
Also, after the crash, confd can;t start and gives an error of corrupted CDB.  
Is there any size limit for the CDB? Or it is driven from the environment?

Thanks

Those numbers (5k, .5k) are not fundamentally taxing to ConfD. It seems like you should have some logs that would give you a hint as to the issue when you hit your 1.5k max. Anything you can share to help shed light on what happens then? And, what release are you running?
