Public bug reported:
Xapian has a (not very well documented) max term length of 245 bytes.
See fx. http://xapian.org/docs/omega/termprefixes.html. For some reason
this is not always gracefully handled inside Xapian and busting that
limit may occasionally corrupt the index.
This is reproducible by indexing long URLs (at least 245 bytes long). We
already had a cap at 2000 characters, but that was apparently not good
enough.
