Description

Greetings,
I wanted to start a tread regarding the idea of limiting the ingest of file depending on the number of column.
There is already a limitation based on file size :TabularIngestSizeLimit.
We use 500 Mo for this limitation.

We experienced too long running ingest job on one CSV file of 430 Mo and 500k columns, maybe others are facing similars issues regarding the number of columns.
I really don't know if there is a way to avoid the ingest of a "too big file to ingest".

If that can help to think about an idea, here are some ingest time tested or estimated :

Type Size Number of columns Ingest time
CSV 18 Mo 1170 13 minutes
CSV 20 Mo 41723 18 hours
CSV 430 Mo 481844 Estimated 420 days

Research direction

Start with the existing TabularIngestSizeLimit configuration linked in the issue and the tabular ingest path that handles wide CSV files. Determine whether a column-count limit is feasible, what threshold and failure behavior are needed, and how the reported wide-CSV case should be covered; the issue is not yet specific about files or tests.
