I have noticed something weird in Spring data for mongo :
MongoRepository extends CrudRepository and the findAll() returns an Iterable which it's ok with the count() method as it returns a long.
class CrudRepository {
...
Iterable<T> findAll();
long count();
}
In mongo MongoRepository the findAll() method returs a List :
class MongoRepository extends CrudRepository {
...
@Override
List<T> findAll();
}
But a List#size() returns an int and the MongoRepository#count() method stay returning a long.
What happens when the collection exceed Integer.MAX_VALUE !? Could we still call List<T> findAll() ?
I liked your view point :) This question looks similar based on what you're asking to this question.
As it mentioned in Java Language Specification: 15.10.1. Array Creation Expressions:
Each dimension expression undergoes unary numeric promotion (§5.6.1). The promoted type must be int, or a compile-time error occurs.
Since dimension has to be an int, we can stores maximum the size 2,147,483,648 in an array and also considering an ArrayList is nothing else but an Array, we can not store more than INTEGER.MAX_VALUE in an ArrayList. (Different implementations of List could behave differently, of course)
Spring Data JPA allows you to customize query methods. You are always free to create a query method which returns type is Iterable.
@Override
Iterable<T> findAll();
