Hi All,

I faced a strange issue. I have a self-defined index with **"dynamic":"strict"** but after some data import into the Index, got this exception: index [index-name] has been exceeded

How it is possible to occur as I think this limitation connected to the data model (fields) which is defined in the first place and disable dynamic mapping.

Please let me know if I missing a point.

Thanks in advance

Do you have the full exception or maybe even the stack trace? Which version of ES are you using?

@cbuescher Thanks for your reply  
I figured out the issue. Acually our create index with strict mapping was being bypassed and dynamic mapping because of the data stucture really exceeded the field limitation.
