GitLab Pages deployments over the max int size in bytes fail to upload

Summary

When the Pages artifact is larger than MAX_INT, the upload fails to complete, with an pages:deploy - <SIZE_GREATER_THAN_MAX_INT> is out of range for ActiveModel::Type::Integer with limit 4 bytes error:

Because the size column in the pages_deployments table is an integer, this fails for values outside of this range.

Steps to reproduce

Configure a bucket for Pages, create a project with the Pages artifact size greater than ~2gb.

What is the current bug behavior?

Pages deployment artifacts greater than ~2gb fail to upload.

What is the expected correct behavior?

There shouldn't be an error when deploying large Pages artifacts.

Relevant logs and/or screenshots

pages:deploy - <SIZE_GREATER_THAN_MAX_INT> is out of range for ActiveModel::Type::Integer with limit 4 bytes

Possible fixes

Possibly change the size column type in pages_deployments?

Workaround

In %13.6 you can disable zip_pages_deployments feature flag. See docs: https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/administration/feature_flags.html

In %13.7 we expect this problem to be fixed by !50262 (merged)
