The particular error message "Got packet bigger than 'max_allowed_packet' bytes" is returned from the client and not the server.

Both the server and the client has a "max_allowed_packet" setting. The client-one is listed here https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.7/en/mysql-command-options.html.

how can it be that when the whole table file is 54MB large with a setting of 200MB that something is larger then 200MB while obviously it was not too large at insert time at 2016-10-06 but with MariaDB 10.0.x instead 10.1.x?
