I am using elastic search through python. When I try to index a document of size 120kb, i get an error in python as (image attached)

when I look at Elastic search 6.2.3 logs(image attached), i see that max length is at 2kb but my document size is 120kb. So I would like to know how I can increase value of max lenth, to index successfully or if there is anything else going wrong.
