Description

There is really no point in having this set to 256MB when the commitlog segment size defaults to 32MB, effectively capping the largest insertable mutation to 16MB.

The native transport can provide a good first line of defense against large mutations that would otherwise hit the heap if left to be rejected by the commitlog.
