What are the current limitations on storing large values in Accumulo? =
Specifically, what would break first and at how big would a value have =
to be to cause the break? Also, is storing lots of large values much =
worse than storing occasional large values?

I can of course test this but it'd be nice to hear what is already known =
about the subject first.
