I am also looking for recommendations on wal/db partition sizes. Some
hints: 

ceph-disk defaults used in case it does not find
bluestore_block_wal_size or bluestore_block_db_size in config file: 

wal =  512MB 

db = if bluestore_block_size (data size) is in config file it uses 1/100
of it else it uses 1G. 

There is also a presentation by Sage back in March, see page 16: 

https://www.slideshare.net/sageweil1/bluestore-a-new-storage-backend-for-ceph-one-year-in


wal: 512 MB 

db: "a few" GB  

the wal size is probably not debatable, it will be like a journal for
small block sizes which are constrained by iops hence 512 MB is more
than enough. Probably we will see more on the db size in the future.
