I am not a database expert by any means but have been curious about distributed data systems and had not heard of FoundationDB till now and was very excited to read about it.
On reading through the documentation, I encountered a section on "Known Limitations"[1] which stated that keys could not be larger than 10kb and values cannot be larger than 100kb. This seems to be a major limitation. Am I missing something or is this strictly for storing text?
