Hi,
I'm currently using the statuses/sample streaming API to store the
sample tweets for later processing by different applications that mine
the data. It is crucial for my applications to avoid data losses as
much as possible. Since the API consumer and the applications all run
in the cloud, a
At Flaptor we use a CharField(max_length=20) which is big enough and
seems reasonable since it is usually obtained from and used in urls.
If you're interested in having a sorted index with the ids then you
would have to look into bigger integer data types or add 0 padding
behavior to your field.
