Limit the number of extracted chars

Limit the number of extracted chars

edit

To prevent extracting too many chars and overload the node memory, the number of chars being used for extraction is limited by default to 100000. You can change this value by setting indexed_chars. Use -1 for no limit but ensure when setting this that your node will have enough HEAP to extract the content of very big documents.

You can also define this limit per document by extracting from a given field the limit to set. If the document has that field, it will overwrite the indexed_chars setting. To set this field, define the indexed_chars_field setting.

For example:

PUT _ingest/pipeline/attachment
{
  "description" : "Extract attachment information",
  "processors" : [
    {
      "attachment" : {
        "field" : "data",
        "indexed_chars" : 11,
        "indexed_chars_field" : "max_size"
      }
    }
  ]
}
PUT my-index-000001/_doc/my_id?pipeline=attachment
{
  "data": "e1xydGYxXGFuc2kNCkxvcmVtIGlwc3VtIGRvbG9yIHNpdCBhbWV0DQpccGFyIH0="
}
GET my-index-000001/_doc/my_id

Returns this:

{
  "found": true,
  "_index": "my-index-000001",
  "_id": "my_id",
  "_version": 1,
  "_seq_no": 35,
  "_primary_term": 1,
  "_source": {
    "data": "e1xydGYxXGFuc2kNCkxvcmVtIGlwc3VtIGRvbG9yIHNpdCBhbWV0DQpccGFyIH0=",
    "attachment": {
      "content_type": "application/rtf",
      "language": "sl",
      "content": "Lorem ipsum",
      "content_length": 11
    }
  }
}

PUT _ingest/pipeline/attachment
{
  "description" : "Extract attachment information",
  "processors" : [
    {
      "attachment" : {
        "field" : "data",
        "indexed_chars" : 11,
        "indexed_chars_field" : "max_size"
      }
    }
  ]
}
PUT my-index-000001/_doc/my_id_2?pipeline=attachment
{
  "data": "e1xydGYxXGFuc2kNCkxvcmVtIGlwc3VtIGRvbG9yIHNpdCBhbWV0DQpccGFyIH0=",
  "max_size": 5
}
GET my-index-000001/_doc/my_id_2

Returns this:

{
  "found": true,
  "_index": "my-index-000001",
  "_id": "my_id_2",
  "_version": 1,
  "_seq_no": 40,

  "_source": {
    "data": "e1xydGYxXGFuc2kNCkxvcmVtIGlwc3VtIGRvbG9yIHNpdCBhbWV0DQpccGFyIH0=",
