Description

The C++ client API buffers the data that it gets back from the server and holds it until it the application has consumed it. If the application is unable to (or does not) consume the data as fast as the server is sending it back, the client API will buffer all the data, eventually running out of memory.
The client API should limit the amount of data it buffers and block on receiving data until the application consumes the data.
