Hi,

I have a logstash config using the http input plugin to listen for requests consisting of a list of json objects. These requests are sometimes quite large and I've noticed that some of the records being sent to logstash seem to be getting silently dropped. This number seems to increase with the number of records sent at once. Are there any implicit limits on the number of events that can be received in a single request or in the size of request that can be received?
