Description

LibMR should be able to pass message longer than Redis max bulk len. There should be other limit to the message len but the limit should be forced by LibMR with proper handling and error message (today Redis will just disconnect the connection and LibMR will have no good indication of what happened).

Research direction

Start by tracing LibMR's message-length handling and its Redis bulk-string interaction; the issue names no specific files or tests. Determine where oversized messages reach Redis and define the LibMR-side limit and error behavior. Done means oversized messages are handled by LibMR with a clear error instead of causing Redis to disconnect without useful feedback.
