Change on the ignore_above default value.

[AlJuan]

I think the ignore_above default value is wrong on the documentation.
I tried a little example:

• First create an index:
  curl -XPUT 'localhost:9200/test?pretty' -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -d' { "settings" : { "index" : { } } }'
• Then insert some value:
  curl -XPUT 'localhost:9200/test/testType/1?pretty' -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -d' { "user" : "kimchy", "post_date" : "2009-11-15T14:12:12", "message" : "trying out Elasticsearch" } '

When I get the mapping info for that index (curl -XGET 'localhost:9200/test/_mapping/testType?pretty') it returns:

{
  "test" : {
    "mappings" : {
      "testType" : {
        "properties" : {
          "message" : {
            "type" : "text",
            "fields" : {
              "keyword" : {
                "type" : "keyword",
                "ignore_above" : 256
              }
            }
          },
          "post_date" : {
            "type" : "date"
          },
          "user" : {
            "type" : "text",
            "fields" : {
              "keyword" : {
                "type" : "keyword",
                "ignore_above" : 256
              }
            }
          }
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

In addition to this, there is a blog post by Adrien Grand saying that the default ignore_above value is 256.

I also tried inserting data with a keyword field value longer than 256. Elastic will store it, but i am not able to search on it.
