How many elements can MVA field have?

Is this limit identical for the RT and plain index types?

I could not find answer for above in Manticore Search Manual: Creating a table > Data types

In my use case most of indexed rows will have few dozens of attribute values, but some - potentially much much more. Performance of filtering on those very large rows is not cruicial.

Thanks in advance for sharing some details!

Ive struggled to find a formal limit.

Do have have functional mvas the 480 elements, on a plain index.

So suggests it not too low

thanks Barry! i was thinking about hundreds of thousands to millions of elements in the extreme case.

based on some preliminary tests - this seems to work with plain index after increasing value of max_xmlpipe2_field to prevent truncation of input fields.
