title: Will mongodb document size limit be increased from 16MB?
body: <p>The document size increased from 4MB to 16MB, in <a href="https://jira.mongodb.org/browse/SERVER-431" rel="noreferrer">December 2010</a>. Will it be increased further? If so when?</p>
  
  <p>One work around the size is normalization of the database, by creating more collections, and performing application level joins ( not provided thru MongoDB). </p>
  
  <p>Is there a configuration option available (in MongoDB) which increases limit or provides for a work around? </p>
  
  <p>Suggestions for workarounds around the limit are welcome.</p>
