Doug Cutting commented on LUCENE-1084:
--------------------------------------
This kind of limit is common on web search engines. It prevents really big
pages that crawlers find causing indexing and search from blowing up (think a
100MB PDF that claims it is a text file). So changing it might indeed hurt
folks who're indexing uncontrolled web content.

> Key: LUCENE-1084
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-1084
> Project: Lucene - Java
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Index
> Affects Versions: 2.2
> Reporter: Daniel Naber
> Assignee: Michael McCandless
> Fix For: 2.4
>
>
> To my understanding, Lucene 2.3 will easily index large documents. So
> shouldn't we get rid of the 10,000 default limit for the field length? 10,000
> isn't that much and as Lucene doesn't have any error logging by default, this
> is a common problem for users that is difficult to debug if you don't know
> where to look.
> A better new default might be Integer.MAX_VALUE.
