Description

Print a warning if any of the internal hard limits is at 50% capacity.
This includes:

  • 32-bit value table entry address space
  • fields of the 64-bit index entry
    Also detect and complain about index degradation due to high collision rate.

Research direction

Start by locating the database code that tracks the 32-bit value-table address space, 64-bit index-entry fields, and index collision rates. Confirm how capacity and degradation are measured, then define warnings for the 50% thresholds and high-collision condition. Done means each requested limit can trigger an actionable warning without changing normal database behavior.
