add a default constraint to limit the size of keys
--------------------------------------------------
Key: ACCUMULO-466
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ACCUMULO-466
Project: Accumulo
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: master
Reporter: Eric Newton
Assignee: Eric Newton
Fix For: 1.4.1
If a user mistakenly inserts extremely large keys, the tablet server will
eventually run out of memory just loading indexes. This is almost certainly a
mistake. Add a constraint, by default, to new tables, which will limit the
size of a key to a megabyte, for example, to catch these kinds of errors
earlier. If the user intends to use very large keys, they can always remove
the constraint.
