The GridFS chunk size is wrong

    • Type: Icon: Bug Bug
    • Resolution: Done
    • Priority: Icon: Critical - P2 Critical - P2
    • 3.1.1, 3.2.0
    • Affects Version/s: 3.1.0
    • Component/s: GridFS
    • Environment:
      Linux

      The default chunk size in GridFSBucketImpl is 255 bytes not 255k bytes as documented in the GridFS manual (https://docs.mongodb.org/manual/core/gridfs/). This causes a severe performance penalty when uploading medium sized files. As an example uploading a ~32MB file using 255 byte chunks can take +30 minutes while using 255k bytes blocks takes several seconds.
