The idea was to provide redundancy, resilience, automatic load balancing
and automatic repairs. Going the way of the file system does not achieve any of that.

        In my opinion if you are busy site or application keep blobs
        out of the database.

            Chunking is a good idea, but you'll have to do it
            yourself. A few of the columns in our application got
            quite large (maybe ~150MB) and the failure mode was RPC
            timeout exceptions. Nodes couldn't always move that much
            data across our data center interconnect in the default 10
            seconds. With enough heap and a faster network you could
            probably get by without chunking, but it's not ideal.

                Hello everybody,

                I'm being asked whether we can serve an "object",
                which I assume is a blob, of 750MB size?
                I guess the real question is of how to chunk it and/or
                even it's possible to chunk it.

                Thanks!
