"huge" by modern standards is Petabytes, which might require some
specialized database service for a data lake.
Short of that look up the "jsonb" data type in Postgres.
The nice thing about using PG for this is that you can keep enough
identifying and metadata in a relational system where it is easier
to query and the documents in jsonb where they are still accessable.
