mysql type allowed_mysql 的 max_allowed_packet 设置后经常变化

环境：linux centOS6.5 数据库：mysql 5.1.73，因为数据表中含有blob字段，所以我在/etc/my.cnf中设置max_allowed_packet = 4M，但是一段时间(这个时间不确定)后，项目出现无法访问数据库的情况，项目重新启动报如下错误：

Caused by: org.hibernate.exception.GenericJDBCException: Packet for query is too large (8742 > 1024). You can change this value on the server by setting the max_allowed_packet' variable.

重启数据库后又可以正常访问，很明显是max_allowed_packet 变成了1024字节了，不知道这样的问题各位大神有没有相关处理经验，请指教，谢谢！
