Querying a big page number problem

[warent]

Seems that if the page reaches 10,000 then it stops working. Unsure if this is an API issue or a queries issue

Hmm, I think we should limit the maximum number of elements to be retrieved. @bcoe what you think?

[bcoe]

@satazor we enforce a limit on npm's side currently; because ElasticSearch enforces a hard limit at the database level which throws an exception (and is much uglier); it would probably be better to enforce this in queries and document it?

[satazor]

I agree, what do you think that max amount should be?

[satazor]

I will add a max value to the api endpoint but will keep this open because the validation should also be added here.
