I have a document with 870000 records, i try to cluster them

i select all, and hit merge selected and close.

I get this error

Error: Form too large9759838>1048576

I'd recommend partitioning your data using facets and clustering a subset.

We should provide a better error message (and perhaps provide a way to do this in chunks automatically), but the maximum size for our internal protocol messages is 1MB and the operation that you're attempting is almost 10MB which isn't even close.

The enhancement in #876 allows the maximum form size to be configured if that helps. This will be included in the next release of OpenRefine.

I propose to increase the default maximum form size (still letting users define their own in refine.ini) and close this.

@tfmorris thanks for the enhancement :) Open Refine is the best thing that i found online for Data Cleaning, thanks for making this happen :)

@wetneb at least from my side, that could be useful, so that less persons end up with this message.

Potentially related to #2235.
