When trying to run term\_vectors query for certain document I am getting "max\_bytes\_length\_exceeded\_exception:" error. The log file is spitting following information, it is not helping with what is causing that error. Wondering if anyone faced similar error. The same query works for other documents in same index.

My Mapping related to term\_vector is :

> "text": {  
> "type": "text",  
> "term\_vector": "with\_positions\_offsets\_payloads",  
> "store" : true,  
> "analyzer" : "fulltext\_analyzer"
> 
> ```
> }
> }
> }
> "analysis": {
> "filter": {
> "english_stop": { 
> "type": "stop",
> "ignore_case": true,
> "stopwords": "_english_"
> },
> "my_word_delimiter" :{
> "type": "word_delimiter",
> "preserve_original" : true,
> "split_on_numerics" : true
> }
>     
> },
> "analyzer": {
> "fulltext_analyzer": {
> "type": "custom",
> "tokenizer": "whitespace",
> "filter": [
> "lowercase",
> "english_stop",
> "my_word_delimiter",
> "type_as_payload"
> ]
> }
> }
> 
> }
> 
> ```

my term\_vector query is

> POST index\_name/type/id/\_termvectors  
> {  
> "fields" : ["\*"],  
> "offsets" : false,  
> "payloads" : false,  
> "positions" : false,  
> "term\_statistics" : true,  
> "field\_statistics" : false,  
> "filter" : {  
> "max\_num\_terms" : 10,  
> "min\_term\_freq" : 1,  
> "min\_doc\_freq" : 1,  
> "min\_word\_length": 4,  
> "max\_word\_length" : 256}  
> }

error message from log file:
