Hi Evan,
These keys were originally created by basho-bench, using:
{key_generator, {int_to_bin, {uniform_int, 10000}}}.

Of the 10k keys, it seems half could be removed, but not the other half.

Now I've tried storing keys with the same key as the un-deleteable ones, waiting a minute, and then deleting them again.. this isn't seeming to help!

I don't know if it's significant, but I'm working with the Java client here (protocol buffers). I note that the bad keys are basically just bytes, not actual ascii strings, and they do contain nulls.

Actually, here's something I just noticed -- the keys I'm getting from the index are repeating! It's the same 39 keys, repeated 128 times.

O.o

Are there any known bugs in the PBC interface when it comes to binary keys? I know the HTTP interface just crashes out completely.

I'm fetching the keys in a manner that returns strings; is there a way to fetch them as bytes? Maybe that would work better; I'm wondering if the client is attempting to convert the bytes into unicode strings and dropping invalid characters?

It's possible, since they're stored separately, that the objects were
deleted but the indices were left in place because of some error (e.g.
the operation failed for some reason between the object removal and
the index removal).  One of the things on the feature list for the
next release is AAE of index values, which should take care of this
case.  This is really rare, but not unknown.  It'd be interesting to
know how you ended up with so many.

In the mean time, the only way I can think of to get rid of them
(other than deleting them from the console, which would require taking
nodes down and a lot of manual effort), would be to write another
value that would have the same index, then delete it, which should
normally succeed.

I'll ask around to see if there is anything that might work better.

Hi,
I have around 5000 keys which just won't die.
No matter how many times I delete them, they still show up in the 2i
$bucket=_ index.

Actually attempting to retrieve the keys results in a not-found - even

if I've requested that tombstones be returned.

I'm interested to know what is going on here?


Anyone?

Should I report this as a bug against 1.4.2?
