Adam Kocoloski commented on COUCHDB-796:
----------------------------------------
Bob, yes, I suggested tweaking mochijson2, since that's what we did in the
past. Supporting the full integer range is a trivial patch. Including an
option to encode bignums as strings would be pretty easy, too, but I'm not sure
how much I like it.

> Key: COUCHDB-796
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COUCHDB-796
> 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.
