Hi guys,
Mattermost has a hard limit of 4000 characters for posts/messages - obviously this is probably enough for most use cases but I was wondering if there was a particular performance reason for limiting to that amount? Would raising the limit cause any issues if I was to do so on my own fork, running Postgres, especially around full text search?
Obviously, if there was a lot more message data in the database it would make full text search slower but I guess I was curious to know that say if you had a character limit of 20,000 instead of 4000 as is now but most messages were generally less than 500 or so characters, would that affect anything in any way?
Cheers,
James.
