There was a problem hiding this comment.
this is actually 255 bytes, so multi-byte characters could count towards multiple bytes

We have a number of limitations on how indices can be named, but those limitations don't appear to be documented anywhere. This PR adds those limitations as a callout at the top of the CreateIndex API docs.
It also tidies the opening section a bit, removes reference to a yaml example that doesn't exist, etc.
