Marek Laca commented on QPID-8452:
----------------------------------

The AMQP protocol specification states that the Data section of the message is 
a byte array, which has the size limit 4 GB. The best possible improvement is 
from 2 GB to 4 GB.

Broker utilizes the Java byte array and ByteBuffer that have the limit 2 GB. 
Broker uses the sign integer for data size, length, position and the sign 
integer can index 2 GB of data at most.

Fixing the issue would require an extensive change in the Broker. I would 
suggest limiting the maximum message size that the broker can process to the 2 
GB. Let the broker gracefully fail when client tries to send a message bigger 
than 2 GB.

> Seems like there is a 2GB limitation for how big the message can be. This is 
> most likely due to usage of Int type.
> Also, when this limit is reached no exception is raised nor any message is 
> printed into a broker log and sender seems to keep waiting for 
> acknowledgement.
