Via the Erlang client, 'cause that's what I had handy, I did a put/get combination on an object with a key 5000 chars long. Worked with no issues. You might run into URL length issues, depending on the client libs used, and/or the HTTP interface might have issues with URLs that long but I think the underpinnings should work with long keys just fine. Obviously, you're creating additional overhead with large keys -- replicas and such -- but it should Just Work otherwise.
