Description

When spotless re-indents, many strings that are broken across lines end up exceeding 100 characters. Rather than force them all to be fixed in a single PR, we could disable the check and do it a few at a time, since it is easy "idle hands" work. This JIRA tracks that (the actual disabling is not yet committed).

Imported from Jira BEAM-4669. Original Jira may contain additional context. Reported by: kenn.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Locate the checkstyle configuration file (e.g., src/checkstyle/checkstyle.xml) and find the LineLength check. Change its severity to 'ignore' or remove it to disable the rule. Then verify the build passes.
