How can apply dense vector size(dims) to 2048

"mappings": {  
"properties": {  
"denseVector": {  
"type": "dense\_vector",  
"index": false,  
"dims":2048  
}  
}  
}

And i got  
**The number of dimensions for field [denseVector] should be in the range [1, 1024]** this error

Hi!  
What is ES aversion?

I ran with the value 0 and got another answer:  
**"The number of dimensions for field [denseVector] should be in the range [1, 2048] but was [0]"**

For this version you cant exceed 1024.

> A `dense_vector` field stores dense vectors of float values. The maximum number of dimensions that can be in a vector should not exceed 1024. A `dense_vector` field is a single-valued field.
