DBValue folds every non-Double number to a double so that Integer(5) and Double(5.0) share an index key, which stores comparing the encoded key bytes need in order to match across types (nitritegh-178). A double only steps by one up to 2^53 though. Around 8.7e17, where snowflake ids and TSIDs live, the representable doubles are 128 apart, so ids closer than that become one key: a unique index rejects an id that is not a duplicate, and a non-unique lookup returns rows belonging to a neighbour. Keep the fold, but only where the value survives it. Integer, Short, Byte and Float always do; Long, BigInteger and BigDecimal are compared against the exact value of the double they produce and keep their own type when it differs. Cross-type equality is unchanged over the range nitritegh-178 is about.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win
Reject non-finite Float values before the type check.
Float.NaN and Float.POSITIVE_INFINITY enter the Float branch at Lines 81-84. The method returns true before it reaches the non-finite check at Lines 87-89. normalizeNumber then changes these values to Double.
Move the non-finite check before the Float branch so the helper rejects all non-finite conversions.
Proposed fix
private static boolean isExactAsDouble(Number value, double normalized) {
+ if (Double.isNaN(normalized) || Double.isInfinite(normalized)) {
+ return false;
+ }
+
if (value instanceof Integer || value instanceof Short
|| value instanceof Byte || value instanceof Float) {
// every value of these types survives the widening unchanged
return true;

Add BigDecimal normalization tests.
Lines 100-102 in nitrite/src/main/java/org/dizitart/no2/common/DBValue.java add a new BigDecimal branch, but this test class covers only Long and BigInteger. Add one exactly representable value, such as new BigDecimal("5.0"), and one lossy value, such as new BigDecimal("9007199254740993").

Hi! This one is less a bug report than a question about a trade-off, since the behaviour
looks deliberate and I would rather ask than assume.
DBValuefolds every non-Doublenumber to a double before it is used as an index key:As far as I can tell that is there so
Integer(5)andDouble(5.0)end up as the sameindex key (gh-178), which matters for stores that compare the encoded key rather than
going through
compareTo— the RocksDB adapter encodes keys to bytes, so without the foldthe two would not match there. Makes sense.
The part we ran into is what it costs at the other end of the range. A double only steps
by one up to 2^53. Any application with long keys above 2^53
(snowflake/TSID/ULID-style ids are the common case) gets silent corruption.
On current
main:and with a non-unique index,
where("entityId").eq(870000000000000123L)returns bothdocuments.
So the question: was the loss above 2^53 a known and accepted cost of the gh-178 fix? If
so, no argument from us and feel free to close this — we can carry a patch. If it was not
considered, here is a suggestion that seems to keep both properties.
Proposal
Keep the fold, but only where the value actually survives it.
Integer,Short,Byteand
Floatalways do.Long,BigIntegerandBigDecimalare compared against the exactvalue of the double they produce and keep their own type when it differs.
Cross-type equality is unchanged for every value a double can hold, which is the range
gh-178 is about —
5,5L,(short) 5andBigInteger.valueOf(5)all still normalize to5.0in every store. Values above it keep their identity instead of merging.What changes: a
Longabove 2^53 and aDoubleno longer land on the same key inbyte-comparing stores. They only appeared equal before because both had been rounded to the
same double, so I do not think anything real is lost, but it is a behaviour change and
existing indexes over such values would want a rebuild. Everything at or below 2^53 keeps
its current on-disk form, so the migration only touches the values that were colliding
anyway.
Tests
DBValueTestcovers the normalization itself: small values of every numeric type stillfold to
Double, large longs andBigIntegers keep their value, values one apart staydistinct, and cross-type
compareTostill reports equality. Includes 2^63 as a case thatis large but exactly representable, so it still folds.
CollectionLargeIdIndexTestis the end-to-end version: unique index accepts two ids oneapart, and an indexed lookup returns only the matching one. Both fail on current
main.testIssue178still passes in all three store flavours, RocksDB included, and the fullnitrite, MVStore and RocksDB suites are green.Summary by CodeRabbit
