What is the recommended maximum number of documents in the data source?

The recommended maximum number of documents in the data source is 9 million. This guideline is based on ensuring optimal performance in managing and processing large datasets within the system. When the number of documents exceeds this recommended limit, it can lead to degraded system performance, longer processing times, and increased resource consumption, which can affect the efficiency of analytics operations.

By keeping the document count at or below this threshold, users can maintain effective search functionality, quicker indexing times, and smoother overall data handling. This recommendation reflects best practices in data management and system performance optimization, essential for analytics tasks where speed and efficiency are critical. Higher limits may be technically possible, but they would require significantly more resources and could complicate maintenance and data retrieval processes.
