> The current "String" type can't handle the string longer than 64K. The first reason is that we are using java DataOutputStream to serialize it. It stores the length using two bytes. However, it should serve the basic requirement for "string" type.
> We need a special TEXT-like datatype to deal with long strings. And probably add some search-related functionalities.
