There is a size limit as a map is just a riak object like any other. We’re 
working on decomposed CRDTs, where the Set/Map/etc are split across many keys. 
We expect Sets are coming soon, Maps are a little further out.

Splitting up CRDTs that are related is probably going to be a problem too, as 
they need to share some common causal information to merge correctly. See above.

Is there not a java converter that maps an object to a CRDT map already? That 
would seem like a nice thing to have, though you’d be limited in the types of 
your fields to sets/registers/booleans/counters/maps it should work nicely.
