A DESCRIPTION OF THE REQUEST :
Currently the maximum array size is limited by int indexing. Long indexed arrays are required.
JUSTIFICATION :
Theese days the hardware is capable of allocating larger arrays, an so there is a huge need for large datasets, especially in HPC and scientific Computing environments.
EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
Example: float[] array = new float[4294967296]
