tokee commented on issue #577: SOLR-13260: 128 bit integer type - longlong URL: https://github.com/apache/lucene-solr/pull/577#issuecomment-464669631 > I believe solr and lucene is unlikely to support anything longer than 128 bits - The underlying implementation types only support a maximum of 128 bits. The underlying implementation is not set in stone, so at some point there could be 256 bit support, or maybe more likely efficient fixed-bits at arbitrary length. Due to that, I am partial to `int128`. My question is what we gain from a `longlong`/`int128`-type? It is very different from atomic numeric types, so it seems like it will require a lot of implementation and maintenance effort to support Solr functions?
