Max History Per Key hard limit in KeyValue store

[andrea-tomassi]

Feature Request

According to current specs "Max History Per Key cannot be more than 64".

Is there any tech constraint for such a low number?

Use Case:

Any with a need for an higher history

Proposed Change:

unlock the max-history value and allow reading recent history only by selecting the last number of items/by date
e.g. nc.keyValue(storeName).history("store-name", 10) should return the lastest 10 items from history

Who Benefits From The Change(s)?

I think this is a Go client, and other client limitation, not a server one IIRC.

[derekcollison]

Believe Go client relaxed this.

This is still the case for both NATS client and server libraries 🤔

[derekcollison]

This is not enforced by the server, this is a client side thing. @Jarema

This is being discussed here nats-io/nats.go#1365 and as @derekcollison mentioned, we only need to change it on client side. This ticket should remain closed.
