Issue
-
When attempting to reindex the portal, the process fails, and the following messages are displayed in the logs:
May 29 12:46:07.767 build-3886 liferay[liferay-5655d97f59-99cjk] [dxp] ERROR [liferay/background_task-2][SearchEngineInitializer:168] Error encountered while reindexing
May 29 12:46:07.767 build-3886 liferay[liferay-5655d97f59-99cjk] java.util.concurrent.ExecutionException: com.liferay.portal.kernel.search.SearchException: java.lang.RuntimeException: org.elasticsearch.ElasticsearchStatusException: ElasticsearchStatusException[Unable to parse response body]; nested: ResponseException[method [POST], host [http://search:9200], URI [/_bulk?refresh=true&timeout=1m], status line [HTTP/1.1 413 Request Entity Too Large]_]; [Sanitized]
Resolution
- This behavior indicates that the content you are trying to reindex is too large.
- To resolve this issue, it is necessary to remove the file that is too large to reindex (Elasticsearch does not reindex values larger than 100MB by default)
- Or adjust the following environment variable: ES_SETTING_HTTP_MAX__CONTENT__LENGTH (The value of the variable depends on the size of the archive).
