      SERVER-8431 restricted inserting a document into a collection with a text index under the following circumstances:

      • The number of unique terms in the fields indexed by the text index is greater than 400,000.
      • The total size of those terms is greater than 4MB.

      This was done to avoid causing the server to shut down from generating a group commit larger than 512MB. However, we have since increased the journaling capacity limit to 2000MB as part of SERVER-17501. We should considering raising these limits to allows users to store more text data in a single document.


      Steps to reproduce
      db.foo.drop();
      db.foo.createIndex({a: 'text'});
      
      var termLength = 16;
      
      var str = '';
      for (var i = 0; i < (5 * 1024 * 1024 / termLength); i++) {
          if (i > 0) {
              str += ' ';
          }
          str += i.zeroPad(termLength);
      }
      
      assert.writeOK(db.foo.insert({a: str}));
      
      assert: write failed with error: {
          "nInserted" : 0,
          "writeError" : {
              "code" : 16733,
              "errmsg" : "trying to index text where term list is too big, max is 4mb _id: ObjectId('568d68d5dd2e24af1002e247')"
          }
      }
