[jira] [Commented] (ACCUMULO-466) add a default constraint to limit the size of keys

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ACCUMULO-466?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13645221#comment-13645221 ]

--------------------------------------------

I think it's too late for 1.5. It'd be a nice 1.6 feature.

> If a user mistakenly inserts extremely large keys, the tablet server will eventually run out of memory just loading indexes.  This is almost certainly a mistake.  Add a constraint, by default, to new tables, which will limit the size of a key to a megabyte, for example, to catch these kinds of errors earlier.  If the user intends to use very large keys, they can always remove the constraint.
