Cause

Resolution

  1. Increase the size of space allocated for metadata field values. Add or increase the value of the -mdsfml indexer option. This is done either by adding the option to the indexer options (eg. indexer_options= -mdsfml2000 increases the field size to 2000 characters) within collection.cfg, or via the administration interface by editing the collection settings and adding the setting to the indexer command line options on the indexer tab.
