That's around where Riak will start to become less-than-happy with the object size it has to buffer in memory and then write to disk. There's nothing hard-coded in Riak to prevent you from storing something bigger than 4MB, nor will it result in total protonic reversal [0] if you attempt to do so. But, to keep things performant, that's around where we advise people to cap object sizes if possible. YMMV. Hope that helps.
