Hello World! I'm trying to \_reindex one of my indices, yet I'm running into following issue: ``` { "took": 9502, "timed_out": false, "total": 114143, "updated": 0, "created": 2999, "deleted": 0, "batches": 3, "version_conflicts": 0, "noops": 0, "retries": { "bulk": 0, "search": 0 }, "throttled_millis": 0, "requests_per_second": -1, "throttled_until_millis": 0, "failures": [ { "index": "dest", "type": "doc", "id": "cmBeZW4BYpT_rNQS9_De", "cause": { "type": "illegal_argument_exception", "reason": "Document contains at least one immense term in field=\"post.keyword\" (whose UTF8 encoding is longer than the max length 32766), all of which were skipped.

I guess you did not define the index for the destination index and you are then using the default mapping. ---

Thank you for quick reply! I hit submit by accident without finishing writing my question fully) I now updated my initial question with relevant part of custom mapping that I use for my index which is called "dest". ---

What does this field contain? Why do you need a keyword datatype for this field? ---

I'd use a `text` field with `index: false`. See [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/mapping-index.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/mapping-index.html) ---
