Store and retrieve multi-gigabyte files using NATS JetStream object store with custom chunk size and metadata

Verified steps

  1. Create an object store bucket: js.CreateObjectStore(jetstream.ObjectStoreConfig{Bucket: "artifacts", Storage: jetstream.FileStorage, MaxChunkSize: 512*1024}) — override the 128 KB default chunk size to 512 KB for fewer round-trips on large files
  2. Upload a file: obs.PutFile(ctx, "/local/path/large-file.bin") or use obs.Put(ctx, jetstream.ObjectMeta{Name: "large-file.bin", Description: "build artifact"}, reader) for streaming upload
  3. Retrieve with streaming: obs.GetFile(ctx, "large-file.bin", "/destination/path") or obs.Get(ctx, "large-file.bin") to get an io.ReadCloser and process chunks incrementally
  4. Attach custom metadata: set jetstream.ObjectMeta.Headers to pass arbitrary key-value pairs alongside the object; retrieve via ObjectInfo.Headers after Get
  5. List stored objects: obs.List(ctx) returns a channel of ObjectInfo entries with name, size, and checksum (SHA-256) for integrity verification
  6. Delete an object: obs.Delete(ctx, "large-file.bin") removes all chunks and the metadata subject; the bucket stream is compacted automatically
