Some say there is a length limit. From the log, it is too long. Is there any restriction on elasticsearch? help! thanks. ---

Hm, I think it's some kind of parsing issue with the document. Do you have a copy of a doc that causes this problem? This exception: ```auto Can't get text on a START_OBJECT ``` Makes me think there is something malformed about the JSON. The exception about length is a red herring; when an IndexRequest is turned into a string for logging purposes, there's a limit on how large that string can be: > That's just a safety feature, to prevent 100mb documents/bulk requests from blowing out the log with gigabytes of text as it serializes the entire document. It also saves a bunch of heap memory. So you can ignore that exception, I think the real issue is that "Can't get text" exception. ---

Thank you for your reply. I have found the problem. I did not specify mapping. The default text of the field is longer than the length. ---
