The ‘max_shingle_size’ parameter is used in the shingle token filter to control the maximum shingle size. To resolve this issue, you should adjust the ‘max_shingle_size’ parameter to a value within the allowed range. This range is defined by the constants ‘MAX_SHINGLE_SIZE_LOWER_BOUND’ and ‘MAX_SHINGLE_SIZE_UPPER_BOUND’. If you’re unsure of the appropriate value, consider using the default value or consult the Elasticsearch documentation for guidance.
