Setting the value of 'apollo-cache-persist' exceeded the quota about apollo-cache-persist

For everyone else's reference: on web localforage, which uses IndexDB has a much higher quota.

Hi @debianw —

Browsers generally set quotas on the amount of data that a page can store in localStorage. These quotas vary from browser-to-browser, but there's not much you can do to get around them. (e.g., in Chrome, it's hard-set to 5MB.)

My advice would be to set a maxSize that is smaller than these quotas to ensure that your app doesn't experience any unhandled exceptions. Generally, if the cache has grown to several megabytes in size, there's probably a lot of stale/orphaned data in it, and it may actually improve performance to let it be purged and repopulated at that point.
