Description

get_key_range fails with an exception (TApplicationException("Internal error processing get_key_range")) if the maxResults parameter is any value greater than 134217728 = 0x8000000 . Note that the i32 parameter allows a larger maximum value – e.g. from Java one one try to pass Integer.MAX_VALUE to obtain all the keys.

I experience the problem throught thrift, both from java and python. The same code was working on 0.4.2, while this is happening on code just checked out from trunk. I don't think this is a thrift problem, since other calls (e.g. get_slice with a SlicePredicate(SliceRange)) allow MAX_INT to be passed.

Perhaps the solution is just to document the maximum allowed value in the API.
