Description

One of the issues I found when using counters is throughput gets significantly limited due to the default chunk length. When tuning from 64 to 4, I saw a massive improvement in both throughput and latency.

Our default chunk length is 16, which is fine for general purpose tables, but since tables with counters are special purpose we should give users this optimization automatically.
