I remember this coming up before...long causes thread saftey issues... http://www.javaworld.com/javaworld/jw-09-1997/jw-09-raceconditions.html
I couldn't find anything on sun's java site to reference, but I didn't look to hard. Eric -----Original Message----- From: Neil [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, August 27, 2003 1:40 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: doc number as integer It seems that since the index document number value is a positive int, this restricts the number of documents in an index to ( 2^31 - 1 ) = 2,147,483,647. Do I misunderstand? I mean, that's enough for me, but it seems a kind of surprising restriction, considering long could be used instead for unimaginably large numbers of documents. Well, I grant I probably can't imagine 2 billion documents either, but google can. Just curious, sorry to bother anyone.
