Description

Trying to test branch-1, I run out of mem pretty fast. Looking at dumps, I see too many instances of LiteralByteString. Seem to be 'qualifiers' and 'values' out of pb QualifierValue... and on up to the multi call into the server. Am having trouble finding how the retention is being done... Filing issue in meantime while work on it.
