how to enforce hard limit 16MB on document size in rethinkdb

Question

As rethinkdb suggest to keep the document size 16MB max for the performance reason. In my nodejs rest api app user can insert data using api. I cannot control how much data would be for an user. each user has individual document in a users table. based on rethinkdb advise trying to put a limit on the document max 16MB. so that any user document cannot grow beyond that limit.

There's no way to enforce limits on document size inside of RethinkDB right now. You'd have to add code to whatever is serving the REST endpoint to do that check.
