Research direction
Start with the Java Blob interface linked in the issue and inspect mysql2's current handling of BLOB/CLOB values and any existing stream entry points. Define how a stream API should expose objects too large for a Buffer, including completion behavior and coverage for both BLOB and CLOB data. Done means an agreed API with tests demonstrating large-object streaming.
