Draw distinction between bytes in blob_value (datastore property type) and large objects in GCS #329
Description
Per discussion today, we should rollback #263 and document that users should use cloud storage for blobs instead. Quickly scanning the code, another option would be to leave #263 in place but to document that it shouldn't be used for large byte strings and to potentially raise an error over a certain size. ISTM the code would fail if we tried to insert a blob that is large enough (10MB?).
True blob support is really an artifact of the old datastore implementation (just like GQL) which predates Cloud Storage.

UPDATE: From docs https://cloud.google.com/datastore/docs/concepts/entities a blob_value should be explicitly kept small.

I don't know if we have non-docstring docs for working with Entities, but some kind of "narrative" summary that covered them, poiting at the API docs for the concepts would be good. Showing how one might use
storagefor blob data, tracking keys indatastore, would be useful there.dhermes commentedon Nov 12, 2014
I agree. May also be possible to point to existing docs with concepts.
FWIW I'm not sure this bug is valid as currently named. It may be worthwhile for storing bytes in the datastore, just not files, images, etc.

Maybe change the title to "Document storing only small blobs in 'blob_value'"

I went a bit more verbose, WDYT?

Sounds fine.

Closing this and folding into #532 since the
documentation is sufficient.
