Error with Microsoft.ApplicationServer.Caching.VelocityPacketTooBigException

Question

Hello All
I am getting the below error while I am searching for a huge record (more than 8.5 MB).
Microsoft.ApplicationServer.Caching.VelocityPacketTooBigException: Size of message to be sent is 8837220 bytes which is larger than the maximum message size 8388608 specified in configuration.
I have tried to change the settings in web.config cloud as below:-
<dataCacheClient name="default" isCompressionEnabled="true">
<autoDiscover isEnabled="true" identifier="foo" />
<!--<localCache isEnabled="true" sync="TimeoutBased" objectCount="100000" ttlValue="300" />-->
<transportProperties maxBufferSize="67108864"/>
</dataCacheClient>
But no luck...
Please help me as am new to Azure.
Thanks in Advance

Hi Deepak,
Looks like, you only changed the Cache client config setting in app.config/web.config.
You have to set the maxbuffersize on both the client and server.
You also need to set the maxBufferSize for the server. To do this
Right click your role
Add -> New Item -> XML File
Name it "CacheSettings.xml"
Paste the following XML:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<configuration>
<configSections>
<section name="dataCache" type="Microsoft.ApplicationServer.Caching.DataCacheSection, Microsoft.ApplicationServer.Caching.Core" allowLocation="true" allowDefinition="Everywhere" />
</configSections>
<dataCache size="Small">
<advancedProperties>
<transportProperties maxBufferSize="XXXX" maxBufferPoolSize="XXXX" />
</advancedProperties>
</dataCache>
</configuration>
