We currently have some cases where we store base64 as a text field instead of a blob (running version 2.0.17). I would like to move these to blob but wondering what benefits and optimizations there are? The possible ones I can think of is (but there's probably more):
* blob is stored as off heap ByteBuffers? * blob won't be decompressed server side? Are there any other reasons to switch to blobs? Or are we not going to see any difference? Thanks!
