Add chunking (streaming) to broker.broadcast about moleculer HOT 2 OPEN

Don't know your use-case but have you considered reversing the logic?

Instead of adding chunking/streaming to broker.broadcast(<my-event>) why don't broadcast all the info that's required to get the desired data? This way each consumer of the <my-event> will receive the info about the data location (e.g, URL, ID, blob, etc.) and fetch it via ctx.call()

Yes, I did. And yes, it would not be completely impossible. But:

For the use case: our applications that subscribe to events (by moleculer decorators) handle data rather generic (via JSON and "dictionaries"). Such we would need case distinctions which do not fit quite well into our current infrastructure.

Also I think (IMHO :-) ) moleculer would benefit from this feature, because it feels like an omission to support streaming in one direction of data transport, but not in the other.
