Why is the blockchain explorer limited to 1000 rows?

With p2p-pools and mixing the blockchain explorer shows more and more addresses with "I'm sorry, this address has too many records to display."

Looking into the source code shows that address_history_rows_max is set to 1000.
This limit was introduced into the bitcoin-abe end of 2011.

Is this limit still necessary today?

For my personal stats I do some blockchain-parsing via the official blockchain explorer, and this has become a bit annoying lately.

Evan is the wrong recipient here, as i am running explorer.darkcoin.io :)

The limit of 1000 rows is chosen to prevent DoS attacks against the server. You are free to run your own, personal one with no such limitations.

Oops, I tagged Evan because his name is mentioned there.

Any database recommendations?

I am running MySQL as DB backend, Postgres SQL should work the same.

I'm just a bit confused:

Code: 
File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/Abe/util.py", line 8, in <module>
  from xcoin_hash import getPoWHash
ImportError: No module named xcoin_hash

Where can I buy that?

This is only limited to abe explorers, did you try the others yet?

Those 3 all need JavaScript enabled to work properly.
Besides that I don't like that, it makes it nearly impossible to get and parse the information via automated scripts. And (if available) their APIs are lacking a bit...

I now have my own local blockchain explorer up and running, and it makes things much easier and faster.
If I would have known before just HOW easy it is to set up one I would have done it long before.
