I am ingesting time-series data and want to enrich it. But my enrich table could be quite large. Are there any rules of thumb regarding the size an index used for enrich in an ingress pipeline can be? Is 10k documents too big? If not, what about 100k?

100K should be OK, I am not aware of a hard limit. There could be some performance impact if extremely large but I don't think 100K is a problem.

I would encourage you to test.
