Now, as for your array of bytes, theoretically the maximum size is ~2 billion bytes, but you will never be. able to allocate that size from a 32 bit process. Same goes for your 420. Mbytes array, allocating this from a 32 bit process will certainly lead to. OOM failures, as a result of heap fragmentation.
In Java, arrays internally use integers (int not Integer) for index, the max size is limited by the max size of integers. So theoretically it is 2^31-1 = 2147483647, which is Integer.MAX_VALUE. But in recent HotSpot JVM it has been observed that the max size of array can be Integer.MAX_VALUE - 5.
