    @davisp: @kxepal: I've given this feature some more thought and I don't see 
how we can have two limits with only one config parameter. The current code 
hard codes a 4 MB limit for incoming body requests. In order to prevent DOS 
attacks, we should revert this back to a configurable limit (i.e 
```max_document_size```). This would return us to the original behavior where 
```max_document_size``` is really means max request size. 
    
    But what we want is to have a scenario where a bulk_doc request can be say 
16 MB, but each document individually does not exceed 2 MB. If we only have 
```max_document_size```, that's not possible right?
