Max Id Size

I'm basically doing my own bridge between mongodb and elasticsearch.
What I want to do is use the mongodb id as the id for elasticsearch.
Mongodb, however, uses ids that are 12 bytes long so I was wondering
if elasticsearch index would fit this or would I have to add a another
field within the index. I tried searching around for the information
but found nothing so far.

You can use the string representation of the mongodb id, there is no limit
on the size of the id in elasticsearch.
