Hi all, With [0] and [1] blob chunking in cold standby was addressed in 1.8. I think now we have a stable and robust solution which got rid of the 2.14 GB/blob limitation. As a positive side-effect, the memory footprint needed for a successful sync of a big blob reduced considerably. While previously 4GB of heap memory were needed for syncing 1GB blob, now only 512MB are needed for the same operation.
Considering all the above, I was wondering if it would make sense to backport these fixes to 1.6.x. I know that traditionally we only backport bug fixes, but depending on how you look at it, the limitation was also kind of a bug :). I was only considering 1.6.x as a candidate branch because the cold standby code in 1.8 and 1.6.x is 98% the same. Thanks, Andrei [0] https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OAK-5902 [1] https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OAK-6565
