*Description*

The `LIMIT` processing command enables you to limit the number of rows that are

-A query does not return more than 10,000 rows, regardless of the `LIMIT` value.
|
|
|
-You can change this with the `esql.query.result_truncation_max_size` static
|
|
|
-cluster setting.
|
|
|
+This limit only applies to the number of rows that are retrieved by the query.
|
|
|
+Queries and aggregations run on the full data set.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+To overcome this limitation:
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+* Reduce the result set size by modifying the query to only return relevant
|
|
|
+data. Use <<esql-where>> to select a smaller subset of the data.
|
|
|
+* Shift any post-query processing to the query itself. You can use the {esql}
|
|
|
+<<esql-stats-by>> command to aggregate data in the query.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+The default and maximum limits can be changed using these dynamic cluster
|
|
|
+settings:
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+* `esql.query.result_truncation_default_size`
|
|
|
+* `esql.query.result_truncation_max_size`
