AWS CloudSearch - is there a limit to the number of stopwords and synonyms you can add?

In the Text Options panel of the AWS CloudSearch console you are able to add stopwords, stems and synonyms to the search index via text field inputs. I am able to upload 471 stopwords, but not one more. When I try, the upload times out and the following javascript error is reported:

Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'Error' of null in cs.201212282103.js

I am assuming I have hit a limit. Is this documented anywhere? I also have a very large set of synonyms that I was hoping to upload. Is there a limit for synonyms? Is there another method to upload stopwords, stems and synonyms - for example an API?

Solution

Yes, there is limits and you can check it on http://docs.aws.amazon.com/cloudsearch/latest/developerguide/Limits.html

Stemming dictionary size
The maximum size of a Amazon CloudSearch stemming dictionary is 500 KB.

Stopwords dictionary size
The maximum size of a Amazon CloudSearch stopwords dictionary is 10 KB.

Synonym dictionary size
The maximum size of a Amazon CloudSearch synonym dictionary is 100 KB.

But I'm not confirming that you have a limit problem, I'm just answering the other questions. Like you pointed might be a temporary problem with the console.
