ItemAccess
is a class used to read data out of prolly tree nodes. Because theitemWidth
field was limited to 16 bits, reading any value larger than 2^16 bytes would result in silent truncation.We don't usually store values this large, although it should be safe to do so.
This issue was discovered because the new JSON chunker (introduced in #7912) always stores embedded strings as a single chunk, so a document containing a string larger than 32KB would result in a node with a single value whose length didn't fit in 16 bits.
While we were investigating this issue, we created #8723 to disable the new JSON chunker in the presence of these long strings. This PR partially reverts that one, resuming the smart chunking of JSON even in the presence of large embedded strings.
