Steven Hawkins commented on TEIID-2361:
---------------------------------------

Regardless of the version Teiid will try to limit in-memory strings to the max size via truncation, whether that is from function evaluation, conversions, etc.  However not every source will have direct string values checked against the max (this is why I refer to it as a nominal not a hard maximum) this allows for some simple passthrough scenarios to work with strings larger than the max.

Sources (not Teiid) may throw exceptions depending upon their handling of larger strings.  We may need to incorporate some additional translator logic as needed.

> The MAX String size is currently 4000.  After a discussion with Steve, he indicated a more common default might be 16k, and also add the ability to configure the size when a data source is being used that contains large sizes.
