Issue

  • I am seeing the following error:
    org.apache.tika.sax.WriteOutContentHandler$WriteLimitReachedException: Your document contained more than 1048576 characters, and so your requested limit has been reached. To receive the full text of the document, increase your limit. (Text up to the limit is however available).

Environment

  • DXP 7.2
  • DXP 7.3

Resolution

  • The Tika write limit is set in bytes by the following property: 
    #

    # Set the maximum size for a file's indexable content. Files larger than

    # this property will only have this amount of their content indexed. A value

    # of -1 indicates that all of a file's content will be indexed. A value of 0

    # indicates that none of the file's content will be indexed.

    #

    dl.file.indexing.max.size=1048576
  • Increasing the indexing limit set by this property in portal-ext.properties will increase the Tika write limit, avoiding the error by allowing the full text of the affected document to be indexed.
