Can we hardcode the starting number for HiLo?

[Justin A]

Hi Folks,

I understand that we can change the -size- of a HiLo batch/block... but can we determine the starting number, for HiLo?

Why? I'm playing around with some unit tests and have some hard coded fake data. In this data, i'm hardcoding the Id's .. i was hoping to mix-n-match .. so the HiLo can kick off for all new items after my hard coded list.

eg.

Store(new Foo(1));

Store(new Foo(2));

Store(new Foo()); // HiLo will start, with the id being foos/3

Is this possible?

Sure,

As the very first thing you do in the app, do:

session.Store( new { Max = 1024} , "Raven/Hilo/Foos");

session.SaveChanges();

Your hilo ranges will now start after 1024
