I am designing a system of pipes between several processes in Python and I am concerned about the behavior of a Connection when the memory is full.
Say that I have process A (faster) processing input data and process B (slower) consuming A's output and thus releasing some memory space. If the memory is full when A writes to the Pipe between A and B what happens in:
- The write is delayed until some more space is available.
- An OOM exception is raised.
If 1, how can it be configured? If 2, is the exception local to A or does the whole system crash?
