The problem with long on Java is that it's a signed 64 bit int which doesn't fully solve the issue; there would be someone out there that would send in a bug saying that when you hit 2^63 it rolled over.
The plan (if my memory is working, I have this written down on an ever growing todo list) is to switch to using BigInteger internally in RiakIndex with the interface / annotations allowing for any of the types to be passed in. - Roach On Jun 8, 2012, at 4:18 AM, Guido Medina wrote: > I would say just to add long and Long for indexing (So it that it supports > Long, Integer and their respective natives), using BigNumber subclasses have > a different semantic and would restrict the developers when designing the > Riak POJOs. > > Guido. > > On 08/06/12 06:37, Russell Brown wrote: >> >> On 7 Jun 2012, at 22:55, Guido Medina wrote: >> >>> All points to 32 bits, at least for the Java client side (indexes can be of >>> type Integer, not Long which is the 64 bits) Look for RiakIndex.java, that >>> will give you some answers. >> >> That's a mistake on the part of the client developer at that time (me).
