             Summary: SegmentPropertyState.getValue(Type.STRING) on a binary throws a strange exception
                 Key: OAK-2055
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OAK-2055
             Project: Jackrabbit Oak
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: segmentmk
            Reporter: Thomas Mueller
            Priority: Minor


Calling the method PropertyState.getValue(Type.STRING) on a binary property can throw an exception with the strange message "java.lang.IllegalStateException: String is too long: 2318847354967717297".

According to the documentation of getValue, it is expected to automatically convert the value to a string in this case: "If the target type is not the same as the type of this property an attempt is made to convert the value to the target type. If the conversion fails an exception is thrown. The actual conversions which take place are those definedin the  org.apache.jackrabbit.oak.plugins.value.Conversions class."
