LookupResources randomly yields empty result

Question

Hello SpiceDB team we are using the official spicedb client library for Go in our app When calling LookupResources the result is empty from time to time even though we always use full consistency

Joey · Answer

the last time this was reported it was because the caller wasn t consuming the stream correctly

Joey · Answer

make sure you re always looping fully over the stream like here https github com authzed zed blob main internal commands permission go L333

SparkleStorm · Answer

We are using a context with timeout of 5s in our request which we then passed to LookupResources but the response is taking more than 5s and spicedb returns an error `Lookup resources iteration failed rpc error code = DeadlineExceeded desc = context deadline exceeded` but our code was discarding this error and thus returning an empty result

it should be noted that 5s is also a long time we are working on improvements to reduce that significantly for super large data sets
