Large Documents?
I'm just getting started with CouchDB and I noticed that mochikit
restricts document sizes to one megabyte. Is there a reason to limit
the size of documents other than to prevent DoS attacks? I modified
my copy of CouchDB with the attached patch and increased the maximum
document size to 50MB. I was able to successfully save a large
document (although I haven't tried pulling it out yet). The reason
that I want such large objects is to store images in the database, and
have the images replicated for redundancy.

We have a config-related patch in the works, we might be able to include
this there. Don't worry about doing it yourself :)

Whoops, I haven't even checked for that. Sorry!

If you do more tests and find problems, it'd be cool if you could report
them. But I guess that is obvious :)
Cheers and thanks

Yeah, that would be my preference too, but I don't know enough Erlang
to implement that.

There's already:
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COUCHDB-37
I haven't tried uploading any larger documents yet to see if there are
issues elsewhere in the code.

Hey Jeffrey,
thanks for pointing this out. Eventually we should have look at
a configurable setting here, so we might not end up using the
patch, but still thanks.
Would you mind creating a bug report on
http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COUCHDB
so we don't forget?
That'd be nice, thanks!
