Description

The limitations page incorrectly states the the maximum size of a JSON query is 64MB. The current true value is 128MB as per: https://github.com/rethinkdb/rethinkdb/blob/v2.3.5/src/client_protocol/protocols.cc#L8.

Bonus: would also be handy if the limitations section stated clearly that the same constraint applies to the maximum size of a binary file that you can store in a document.

Research direction

Open 8-architecture/limitations.md and compare its JSON query limit with the value in src/client_protocol/protocols.cc at the referenced version. Update the limit from 64MB to 128MB and clarify whether the same constraint applies to binary files stored in a document; done means the limitations page accurately states both points.
