Can I send a big size via RabbitMQ Stream?

[chienhust]

I'm learning about RabbitMQ Stream, I see that i can set maximum stream size to 20 GB by below argument:
arguments.put("x-max-length-bytes", 20_000_000_000); // maximum stream size: 20 GB
(refer to https://www.rabbitmq.com/streams.html#declaring)
So, can I send a big file like a docker image (about 5GB) or a zip file (about 1GB) via RabbitMQ Stream? and how to do that?
Thank you very much.

RabbitMQ streams are designed for large amounts of data but individual messages of those sizes I could not recommend that you try.

it would be much better to e.g. set up a shared docker repository and publish your docker image there instead then send a message through rabbitmq notifying interested parties that there is a new version of the image.

Storing large blobs on a blob store (or a more specialized store such as a Docker image registry) and passing URIs or IDs around is the recommended way, for quorum queues, non-mirrored classic queues, and streams.
