Problem Description

A message of the form

Requested new buffer size is invalid. Requested: 1081654, allowed: 0..1048576

is seen when starting the Aerospike Prometheus Exporter.

Explanation

This can happen in older versions of APE when there is a large number of sets in the namespace (due to the increase in allowed sets in Aerospike 7 and later).

Solution

Upgrade to APE 1.19.0 or later.
