Jesus, I can't believe people still defend this shit. I don't care if MongoDB can store ten jiggerbytes, it should give an error when you're trying to insert more than that. When the hell did corrupting your data become acceptable for a datastore?
I'm confused, are you talking about me or MongoDB? If you're talking about me, I don't think I made a mistake, and if you're talking about MongoDB, the guys on IRC were very civil about it and did say that silently corrupting data was the wrong way to go about it.
It's these apologists who are giving MongoDB a bad name, really, because the guys on IRC were nothing but helpful about it.
The 32bit version is available for convenience, nobody uses it in prod. You can't complain that a simple testing tool limited to 2gb can't store more than 2gb.
You used a dev version of a tool that is not meant to be ran in production or for any serious task and then complained it didn't work with your attempt. As this bug is not present in the real prod version of mongodb, it doesn't make sense to criticize mongodb for it. Also next time RTFM before using a tool you don't know much about.
