Add Splitter feature

[TomKlotzPro]

Description

One of our customer had some trouble with large records. https://github.com/KalobTaulien/wagtail-algolia-example-code/issues/1

I was wondering if we cannot add our splitter feature from our laravel integration.

Steps To Reproduce

• Split large records

Hi,

Have you had a chance to look into this? I'm asking because I'm trying to plan our work ahead. As mentioned before, make sure to let me know if you'd like some input :)

Following up on this. A status update would be very useful :)

[nunomaduro]

@TomKlotzPro Do you have any status about this?

[TomKlotzPro]

Not for the moment sorry, it's still an open discussion. I'll update the status once we have more information. @nunomaduro

WRDS will find value in this enhancement.

I just found out that Wagtail has an Algolia backend: https://github.com/wagtail/wagtail-algolia-search.

With the rise in use of Wagtail CMS, It would seem there's good opportunity for Algolia and Torchbox (creators of Wagtail) to work together to improve this integration from both sides!

We'd love that!

If someone is interested, I just added a pr to the wagtail-algolia-search backend repo with a simple slicer that slices large pages into multiple <~10k chunks if needed. Seems to work quite well.
