[GitHub] [pulsar-client-node] alanhoff opened a new issue #124: Allow BigInt/Buffer to be used as initialSequenceId and/or sequenceId

[GitBox <gi...@apache.org>]

alanhoff opened a new issue #124:
URL: https://github.com/apache/pulsar-client-node/issues/124


   Hello there,
   
   Right now the producer's sequence ID is limited to 4 bytes here:
   
   - https://github.com/apache/pulsar-client-node/blob/master/src/ProducerConfig.cc#L76
   - https://github.com/apache/pulsar-client-node/blob/master/src/Message.cc#L174
   
   However we could allow 8 bytes integers if we allow producer/message to receive a [BigInt](https://nodejs.org/api/n-api.html#n_api_napi_get_value_bigint_int64) and/or a [8 bytes buffer](https://nodejs.org/api/buffer.html#buffer_buf_writebigint64le_value_offset).
   
   I'm trying to match a dataset that uses 8 bytes integers for keys as my sequence ID, that's why I found this limitation :-)
