    Hi Shameek,

    Thank you for taking your time to respond with a lengthy answer.

    With the information you provide it's to some extend understandble to why this ticket is a "Can't Do".

    Nonetheless, my hope from this discussion was that there might be a chance (and this would be my suggestion here) to see a branched alpha version with an increased document size to e.g. 32 MB so that your customers can try it out and see what breaking changes would occur.
    IF step 1 worked out well, and many devs out there would already enjoy that huge gain, the document size could be made configurable (within a reasonable range of sizes) in a second, much later step.

    Please let us know if it would technically be possible to increase to 32MB or if developers with the requiremend of larger documents than 16MB will have to work with that size restriction for an undefined long time.

    Kind regards from Germany!
    Marcel

    I wonder if there's a better way to reach out to the developers.

    Obviously our voices are being ignored for years. It's a real shame actually.

    The discussion that @FeldrinH linked for us (and which took over a year) has plenty of use cases in which we explain the necessity to adjust the document size.

    Adding a configuration parameter to change the BSON document size (e.g. bigger than 16 MB) would be extremely appreciated by many developers of existing or planned applications with MongoDB.
