Adam Kocoloski commented on COUCHDB-796:
----------------------------------------
Hi Bob, can you be a little more specific on this proposal? What does it mean
to "handle bignums" -- does anything change in the mochijson2 decoder?
Do you want to make the encoder always encode integers larger than N as
strings? I kinda dislike that default because it becomes impossible to
roundtrip a bignum through mochijson2.

> Project: CouchDB
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Database Core
> Affects Versions: 0.11
> Reporter: Robert Newson
> Fix For: 1.0
>
>
> CouchDB uses spidermonkey which can only handle 32 bit integer values before
> overflowing. This might surprise users of map/reduce on large datasets.
> Instead, alter mochijson2.erl to handle bignums and encode numeric values as
> strings.
