Since fea5067df we enforce a limit on the memory consumption of
otherwise non-limited queries like reverse and non-paged queries. This
limit is sent down to the replicas by the coordinator, ensuring that
each replica is working with the same limit. This however doesn't work
in a mixed cluster, when upgrading from a version which doesn't have
this series. This has been worked around by falling back to the old
max_result_size constant of 1MB in mixed clusters. This however resulted
in a regression when upgrading from a pre fea5067df to a post fea5067df
one. Pre fea5067df already had a limit for reverse queries, which was
generalized to also cover non-paged ones too by fea5067df.
The regression manifested in previously working reverse queries being
aborted. This happened because even though the user has set a generous
limit for them before the upgrade, in the mix cluster replicas fall back
to the much stricter 1MB limit temporarily ignoring the configured limit
if the coordinator is an old node. This patch solves this problem by
using the locally configured limit instead of the max_result_size
constant. This means that the user has to take extra care to configure
the same limit on all replicas, but at least they will have working
reverse queries during the upgrade.
