Hi all,

I am using Solr 3.4 and I am indexing 10KB to 10MB size documents and I've
realized some of them hit the maxFieldLength settings in solrconfig.
I see from previous threads [1] some people solve this issue splitting the
document in smaller chunks and "rebuilding" it at query time with field
collapsing / result grouping feature.
Before diving into that I'd like to ask a few questions:

   1. is the maxFieldLength parameter deprecated?
   2. what is maxFieldLength counting? I understood it's counting tokens
   per document (not per field)
   3. what if I simply remove the maxFieldLength setting from the
   solrconfig?

>From what I see if I remove it from the solrconfig the text values are
still constrained to some bound since if I query the last term in a long
document's text I don't get a match.
My high level understanding was that maxFieldLength was deprecated in
IndexWriter Lucene API and moved to proper Analyzers/Filters [2].
Thanks in advance for any help.
Tommaso

p.s.:
I've sent this to solr-user@ but I got no reply so I'm trying to see if I
can get some help out here
