s3.upload() does not really support arbitrarily sized buffers

[bkw]

Streaming a big file to s3.upload() can cause the PartNumber parameter to overflow the allowed maximum of 10000, resulting in an InvalidArgument: Part number must be an integer between 1 and 10000 Error.

I managed to work around the problem by using a 10mb partSize, but I think the documentation should be updated to reflect this limitation.

btw, using a partSize of 20mb resulted in another failure:

(node) warning: Recursive process.nextTick detected. This will break in the next version of node. Please use setImmediate for recursive deferral.

RangeError: Maximum call stack size exceeded

What version of Node.js are you using?

$ node --version
v0.10.38

I would suggest upgrading to 0.12. The Recursive nextTick issue is a known one in Node.js, see nodejs/node-v0.x-archive#6065.
