In your table schema, you have KEYS and you have VALUES. Your KEYS are text, but they could be any non-counter type or compound thereof. KEYS obviously cannot ever be counters.
Your VALUES, however, must be either all counters or all non-counters. The official example you posted conforms to this limitation.
