Support for blob data

[kesavkolla]

Can I store arbitrary blob data? I've some binary data along with some metadata. A typical object store usecase. Is it possible to store that type of data inside tigirs?

@kesavkolla Thank you for asking about it. This is something we have been thinking of adding but never get a chance to work on it. For smaller blobs, we do support the binary type which can be used but for bigger blogs, the plan is to integrate with the object store. I am assuming for your use case the blobs are very big in size?

It's kind of arbitrary. Can't predict the size upfront. I want to store the streams of data but don't want to introduce different storage like object storage. Regards, -Kesav

That makes sense. We will be adding support for blob storage use cases.
