Sorry for the delay in replying. We do get questions about the btree
length limit occasionally, but practically the length limit usually
isn't a problem. Unless you need ordered data, a hash index is a better
choice for long values than btree because the hashes are much shorter.
Expression indexes can also help.
What is your use-case for indexing very long values?
