Generated source exceeds default intellij file size limit (2.44MB)

[komsit37]

Intellij code insight feature cannot be used (no code jump or error highlight) on generated source file from big thrift service (~60 methods)

Expected behavior

Intellij code insight works on generated source file

Actual behavior

Got the following message when opening generated source in intellij
Generated file size exceeds default intellij configured limit (2.44MB). Code insight features are not available.

Steps to reproduce the behavior

Create thrift service with roughly 60 methods with 2-3 arguments each, then runs scroogeGen on it. This should generate about 53,000 lines with 2.5MB in size. Open the project in intellij. Warning message should come up at the top of the editor (if file size actually exceeds 2.5MB)

Additional Info

• The same thrift service works in 17.11.0, but not in 18.5.0. I think the new version adds 2 more interfaces: ReqRepMethodPerEndpoint, ReqRepServicePerEndpointBuilder
• Not really big issue, but just think it worth mention here
• Workaround is simple - just need to change default limit or reduce no. of methods in the service https://stackoverflow.com/questions/23057988/file-size-exceeds-configured-limit-2560000-code-insight-features-not-availabl/23058324#23058324
• However, it's still slow to open and jump to source
• Any plan to drop deprecated FutureIface or ServiceIface? or provide option to do so

Hi @komsit37, thank you for reporting the issue. Currently, we have some deprecated interfaces in the generated code we are about to drop soon, those are MethodIface, FutureIface, ServiceIface and their corresponding builder object.
This is a bit challenging as internally we need to migrate all code from old APIs to new ones and come up with a plan to help OSS do this easier. I'll provide more information after we have a concrete plan about how to do this.
