I've started working on an Umbraco 4.0 website that was setup by another developer. The site has an automated system that imports news articles from a 3rd party source (usually about 4 articles a week). Its been running for over a year now and I'm looking at the node id's for the latest news items that are getting imported and the id is up near 300,000. There isn't anywhere near this many nodes - I think the import system is doing something strange with deleting/recreating nodes when it imports the data. I still have to look into this and fix, but in the short term I'm concerned about the size of the id's.
I wouldn't be too concerned, the id of the table umbracoNode is an integer, so you'd run into trouble when you hit the max value for integers which is 2^31-1. That said, it would be a good idea to find out why you got to that current number of 300.000.
Maximum node ID allowed?
