gRPC 11 OUT_OF_RANGE vs 15 DATA_LOSS
Both gRPC 11 (OUT_OF_RANGE) and 15 (DATA_LOSS) belong to the gRPC Status Codes category. 11 indicates that the operation was attempted past the valid range. For example, seeking or reading past the end of a file. Meanwhile, 15 means that unrecoverable data loss or corruption has occurred.
Description
The operation was attempted past the valid range. For example, seeking or reading past the end of a file.
When You See It
A pagination offset exceeded the available data, or an iterator moved past the end of a collection. Unlike INVALID_ARGUMENT, this depends on the current state of the data.
How to Fix
Check the valid range before making the request. For pagination, use the total count or next-page token to avoid requesting beyond the last page.
Description
Unrecoverable data loss or corruption has occurred.
When You See It
Critical data was lost or corrupted — for example, a checksum mismatch during transmission or an unrecoverable storage failure on the server.
How to Fix
Investigate the data integrity failure immediately. Restore from backups if available, and check for hardware failures or network corruption in the data path.
Key Differences
gRPC 11: The operation was attempted past the valid range. For example, seeking or reading past the end of a file.
gRPC 15: Unrecoverable data loss or corruption has occurred.
You encounter 11 when a pagination offset exceeded the available data, or an iterator moved past the end of a collection. Unlike INVALID_ARGUMENT, this depends on the current state of the data.
You encounter 15 when critical data was lost or corrupted — for example, a checksum mismatch during transmission or an unrecoverable storage failure on the server.
When to Use Which
For 11 (OUT_OF_RANGE): Check the valid range before making the request. For pagination, use the total count or next-page token to avoid requesting beyond the last page. For 15 (DATA_LOSS): Investigate the data integrity failure immediately. Restore from backups if available, and check for hardware failures or network corruption in the data path.
