Right, but in this case, what's the difference? If I set it to a billion gigabyte Max object size, would it matter in anyway aside from keeping the number of objects to a minimum? Does having a. Lower size help ensure there are no issues in the case of an interrupted transfer? And it would matter because if we're talking 45TB, which is what is being uploaded, and we had to recover from a catastrophic failure, the amount of GETs to recover and amount of PUTs to store in any case wouldbe high if the object size is low. So the math here is its very expensive if there are that many objects.
So again - is there any performance hit or any kind of logistical issue with the object size? If I set it to 1GB in the case of our larger archive files, would there be some. Kind of issue?
