This is most probably because of the hard limit of 10,000 synonyms that we have on analysis when searching for synonyms.

We can set a bigger limit on this and also be explicit on the maximum number of synonyms we allow on updating.

from elasticsearch.

We'll be updating the hard limit to 100,000 synonyms, and adding error handling on the API for checking the number of existing synonyms to avoid adding more than that.

Draft PR

from elasticsearch.

Will do an initial fix for limiting the maximum number of synonyms to 10,000 from the API, and warn for synonyms sets that already contain more than that in this PR.

We will address raising the 10,000 limit in a separate PR.
