Increase 4MB of gRPC limited in Azure Durable Function for Java

There seems to be a limit only in Azure Durable Function For Java that cannot send payload over 4MB, can you update the limit and align with int.MaxValue in function host runtime? Below are the observation about this issue:

1. Got below error when POST to durable function with a payload over 4MB.

Microsoft.Azure.WebJobs.Host.FunctionInvocationException : Exception while executing function: Functions.StartOrchestration ---> Microsoft.Azure.WebJobs.Script.Workers.Rpc.RpcException : Result: Failure

2. It is regarding the grpcMaxMessageLength, there are multiple issues related to it. In Function Host Runtime, the limit should be set to int.MaxValue:

https://github.com/Azure/azure-functions-host/issues/2677

DefaultMaxMessageLengthBytes = int.MaxValue;
https://github.com/Azure/azure-functions-host/blob/dev/src/WebJobs.Script/Workers/Rpc/RpcWorkerConstants.cs#L38

3. From logs, we see that grpcMaxMessageLength has already been set to 2147483647. Howeve it does not seem to take place in the durable function.

Starting worker process with FileName:C:\Program Files\Java\microsoft-jdk-11.0.16.1/bin/java WorkingDirectory:C:\home\site\wwwroot Arguments: -XX:+TieredCompilation -XX:TieredStopAtLevel=1 -noverify -Djava.net.preferIPv4Stack=true -jar "C:\Program Files (x86)\SiteExtensions\Functions\4.19.0\workers\java\azure-functions-java-worker.jar" --host 127.0.0.1 --port 50628 --workerId ada93a63-8e10-49ac-ba64-19113424c536 --requestId d5533bd6-b6a2-442d-b394-22c67ae1f6b5 --grpcMaxMessageLength 2147483647

4. This issue can always be reproduced from local with latest function host version: 4.21.1.20667 when send a POST with payload larger than 4MB.

5. This issue cannot be reproduced when use Azure Durable Function for Python. Also, no issues with HTTP trigger in normal Java function app. Hence we believe it is only with Azure Durable Function for Java.

6. There is no such setting for "grpc max message size" in this repo found, it seems to inherit default 4MB limit in gRPC.

Comienza rastreando grpcMaxMessageLength desde los argumentos de inicio del worker de Java hasta la ruta DurableTaskGrpcClient.scheduleNewOrchestrationInstance, comparándolo con la configuración del runtime de Function Host y el comportamiento de Python descrito aquí. Reprodúcelo localmente con Function Host 4.21.1.20667 usando un payload POST de más de 4 MB; se considera completado cuando la Java Durable Function acepta el mensaje más grande sin el error gRPC RESOURCE_EXHAUSTED.
