The Amazon SQS Extended Client Library for Java enables you to manage Amazon SQS message payloads with Amazon S3. This is especially useful for storing and retrieving messages with a message payload size greater than the current SQS limit of 256 KB, up to a maximum of 2 GB. Specifically, you can use this library to:
-
Specify whether message payloads are always stored in Amazon S3 or only when a message's size exceeds 256 KB.
-
Send a message that references a single message object stored in an Amazon S3 bucket.
-
Get the corresponding message object from an Amazon S3 bucket.
-
Delete the corresponding message object from an Amazon S3 bucket.
You can download release builds through the releases section of this project.
