Django Haystack Elastic Search maximum value for indexable CharField

Question

I was wondering whats the maximum value for an indexable CharField in Django Haytack with elasticsearch?

I am asking this, because I am getting a timeout when I try to index a specific charfield that has a size of at least 736166.

This seems to be pretty big for me, but is there a way for me to avoid that timeout, or am I not supposed to be using fields this big?

Thanks in advance.

The problem is that there was not enough memory. Upgrading from 2GB to 4GB in my VM fixed the problem.
