## Supported MariaDB 10.2.1

In this release, MariaDB 10.2.1 which is released 4 Jul, 2016 has been
supported.

## Limitation about the maximum number record is relaxed

A table had the following limitations. This limitation is derived from
Groonga.

* The maximum one key size: 4KiB
* The maximum total size of keys: 4GiB
* The maximum number of records: 268,435,455 (more than 268 million)

In the past, the maximum number of records is announced as 268
million.

With recent research, it turns out that there is a capability to store
more records than ever.

Here is the updated limitation about the maximum number of records:

* No primary key table: 1,073,741,815 (2^30 - 9)
* PRIMARY KEY or PRIMARY KEY USING BTREE table: 1,073,741,823 (2^30 - 1)
* PRIMARY KEY USING HASH table: 536,870,912 (2^29)

Keep in mind that these limitations may vary depending on conditions.
