Mysql Query fails after certain number of records. Query just stuck in the mysql client

We upgraded Istio from 1.0.5 to 1.1.2 and both the service POD and the Mysql POD has istio-proxy container

When running certain queries Mysql doesnt return the response back to the service.
Connected to Mysql POD from Mysql-client using service (mysql.dev) and run the same query and the query just gets stuck and does not return anything. But filtering the query limiting the rows, i could get the result.
If i connect to mysql directly bypassing istio(not connecting via service endpoint) the same query returns the result.
Also disabled Istio for mysql container and i no longer see the issue. Same queries worked with version 1.0.5. This feels like some kind response size limit or buffer limit which i am not sure how to override the default.

Appreciate any help here
