It seems to me it's a design flaw.

There are several properties that are a list of values like history and
group-member-set. I was thinking of adding a type identifier field to
the properties table and storing the individual values in a different
table, one per row. That's the usual relational db solution to this
problem.

BTW, there's a property_type field in the properties table and the Java
object also has this field, but it doesn't seem to be used. Is it used
at all? If is not can we use it for this purpose?

I volunteer to try to fix at least one of the database stores using this
technique if anybody thinks it's worth it.
