Increase max document size to at least 64MB

Similar use case here…

I’m using mongoDB to store colelctions of 10000 frames of a moving system of 200.000 particles. Each frame stores 13 floating-point values per particle. So a single frame holds 2.6 million floating point values (20.8 MB). It is just not practical to split frames into more than 1 document.

I have 128 processors, 16 TB of SSD and 1 TB of RAM on the server… could anybody explain the logic behind the 16MB document limit?. Sounds a bit 2009.
