Instead, we can move the large value data outside of KV stores, and only store the reference in KV stores.
With SeaweedFS, a large value can be stored as a chunk on volume servers and can be referenced by a chunk id, which is a small string. In addition, the smaller values can be stored directly in KV stores, saving one network hop. So you can get an efficient KV store with almost unlimited size, while still have the same access speed for small values and reasonable speed for larger values.
