Replicated cache partition size

[Niels Ejrnæs]

Hi,

Is there a particular reason for why replicated caches has their partition size 
set to 512 by default?
I found this in 
org.apache.ignite.internal.processors.cache.GridCacheUtils#initializeConfigDefaults(IgniteLogger,
 CacheConfiguration, CacheObjectContext):V

        if (cfg.getAffinity() == null) {
              ...
            else if (cfg.getCacheMode() == REPLICATED) {
                RendezvousAffinityFunction aff = new 
RendezvousAffinityFunction(false, 512);

                cfg.setAffinity(aff);

                cfg.setBackups(Integer.MAX_VALUE);
            }

The default partition size for the RendezvousAffinityFunction is 1024.
