Import large files

Problem/Motivation

Module is not able to import large files, bigger than PHP memory limits.

Steps to reproduce

• Create media entity, allow to upload large files, larger than memory limit
• You can use https://www.drupal.org/project/plupload_widget → or other similar modules
• Import earlier created media entity to client site
• System crashes due to out-of memory (Fatal error: Allowed memory size of x bytes exhausted)

Proposed resolution

Dont use file_get_contents() as it loads entire file into PHP memory.

Options:
Use for example copy function - https://www.php.net/manual/en/function.copy.php
Use guzzle sink option - https://docs.guzzlephp.org/en/stable/request-options.html#sink
