URL query parameters limitation

In HTTP, it is up to the implementation to limit the request URI length, see

http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec3.html#sec3.2.1

ES uses Netty for HTTP implementation, and current Netty HTTP request
limits are documented here

http://static.netty.io/3.5/api/org/jboss/netty/handler/codec/http/HttpRequestDecoder.html

Best regards,

Jörg

I'm ramping up on Query DSL and have heard that URL parameter queries have
a limitation compared to JSON queries in the Request body.
Could someone please elaborate (or point to a doc) on those limitations?

Thanks,
Nick
