I've known about this problem for years, but never did anything. Thank you for taking the initiative here, Robert. I think flat out rejecting documents that are too big, with that value set in the ini file, is the right move if we can't fix the underlying couchjs issue. As for what is "too big," do you have empirical data from Cloudant as to a recommendation? I've seen documents at Cloudant as small as 24MB cause issues with couchjs views, personally. -Joan
