[jira] [Comment Edited] (CASSANDRA-10374) List and Map values incorrectly limited to 64k size

["Fabrizio Bottino (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

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

Maybe we can add a new configuration option (something like "enable_big_collection_values") which is default to false in 2.1 and 2.2 so nothing changes unless some wants it, and is default to true on >= 3.0, with a proper comment (in 2.1/2.2) which inform users that enabling that option breakes compatibility with protocols v1 and v2.

Can this be good enough ?

> With the v3 native protocol, we switched from encoding collection element sizes with shorts to ints.  However, in {{Lists.java}} and {{Maps.java}}, we still validate that list and map values are smaller than {{MAX_UNSIGNED_SHORT}}.
> Map keys and set elements are stored in the cell name, so they're implicitly limited to the cell name size limit of 64k.  However, for non-frozen collections, this limitation should not apply, so we probably don't want to perform this check here for those either.
> The fix should include tests where we exceed the 64k limit for frozen and non-frozen collections.  In the case of non-frozen lists and maps, we should verify that the 64k cell-name size limit is enforced in a friendly way.
