Kibana Feature : ability to disable highlight for a field or atleast index

Open divit00 opened this issue 5 years ago • 4 comments

Describe the feature:

In Kibana, we often face the issue with index.max.analyzed_offset greater than 1000000.

To solve this we can either increase its value to greater than 1000000 but it will make the query slower.

Or, we can use term_vectors but that would increase the size.

Or, we can disable doc_table:highlight in Kibana advanced settings to disable highlight completely for all indices. That is also not perfect because highlights are useful.

So, can we have a feature either to turn off highlights for

  1. For a Index completely
  2. For a Field in an Index. This would be best.

Either of the solution would work for me.

With a project I am working on, I am running into this same issue. I would have the exact same preference of turning highlights off in a field over an index. The fields I would turn highlighting off for directly correlate with ones I turn off indexing for in Elasticsearch. (larger stuff I want to retrieve, but have already acknowledged is a bit beyond processing within ELK.)

I still believe this is an important issue to be fixed. Many people do come across this issue but they just turn off Kibana Highlights which isn't a good solution.

Closing this because it's not planned to be resolved in the foreseeable future. It will be tracked in our Icebox and will be re-opened if our priorities change. Feel free to re-open if you think it should be melted sooner.
