Is there a limit to the number of digits for a number field in a kvstore?

[BernardEAI]

I have a kvstore that I am writing results of a search to. I have a field in the kvstore called ASC_IDX, and this is defined as a number. If I now write a large number (like 1647976533000037808725) to this field with outputlookup, I get the following number in the kvstore:

-9223372036854775808

This same number appears for all large number I'm trying to put into the kvstore.

Is there a limit to the number of digits for a number field in a kvstore?

That number is larger than 64 bits so I would not expect Splunk to store it properly as an integer.  Consider storing it as a string.
