Application limit for ES indexed field length
What does this MR do?
Using the plan_limit
table we can down store a limit for the maximum size of any fields being indexed in Elasticsearch. This is for #201826 (closed) . Any strings above the length limit will be truncated down to the limit.
We default to 0
which means unlimited so this has no affect for self-managed customers. On GitLab.com we will likely want to set this to around 20k as a sensible upper limit on what we should store.
