Hello,

I use Elasticsearch and Logstash 6.5.4 for storing log data. One application also stores Requests/Responses from webservices. To store those fields I have created a custom mapping, part of it:

> ```
> {
> "mapping": {
> "doc": {
> "_source": {
> "enabled": false
> },
> "properties": {
> "REQUEST": {
> "type": "text",
> "index": false,
> "store": true
> },
> "RESPONSE": {
> "type": "text",
> "index": false,
> "store": true
> }
> }
> }
> }
> }
> 
> ```

Despite this mapping I get the following error:  
The length [1209411] of [RESPONSE] field of [yY6Vt2gBZA-Jyqcm6hu3] doc of [XXX-2019.02.04] index has exceeded the allowed maximum of [1000000] set for the next major Elastic version. This maximum can be set by changing the [index.highlight.max\_analyzed\_offset] index level setting. For large texts, indexing with offsets or term vectors is recommended!

I am confused by this message as I have disabled indexing for this field and it should only be stored. Can anyone explain to me why I get this error?
