Getting maxCharsPerRecord: 1,048,576 in S3 in AWS S3 SelectObjectContent

Question

I am fetching records from the s3 JSON file using s3 select. Everything working for me when I fetch data from small JSON files ie 2MB(with record count around 10000)

Following is my query

innerStart = 1
innerStop = 100
maximumLimit = 100
query = "SELECT * FROM s3object r where r.id > " + str(innerStart) + " and r.id <= " + str(innerStop) + " limit " + str(maximumLimit);
r = s3.select_object_content(
     Bucket=cache,
     Key= key + '.json',
     ExpressionType='SQL',
     Expression= query,
     InputSerialization={'JSON': {"Type": "Lines"}, 'CompressionType': 'NONE'},
     OutputSerialization={'JSON': {
     }},
)

But when I try to query some records from large JSON files (ie 100 MB over 578496 records). I am getting the following error. I tried changing my query to fetch an only a single record from a large JSON file also didn't work for me. Is there any Scan character limit for S3 Select?

File "./app/main.py", line 118, in retrieve_from_cache_json OutputSerialization={'JSON': { File "/usr/local/lib/python3.7/site-packages/botocore/client.py", line 357, in _api_call return self._make_api_call(operation_name, kwargs) File "/usr/local/lib/python3.7/site-packages/botocore/client.py", line 676, in _make_api_call raise error_class(parsed_response, operation_name) botocore.exceptions.ClientError: An error occurred (OverMaxRecordSize) when calling the SelectObjectContent operation: The character number in one record is more than our max threshold, maxCharsPerRecord: 1,048,576

I changed my JSON schema to CSV, csv select worked for me. Following is my query

innerStop = 100
innerStart = 0
maximumLimit = 100
query = "SELECT * FROM s3Object r WHERE cast(r.\"id\" as float) > " + str(innerStart) + " and cast(r.\"id\" as float) <=" + str(innerStop) + " limit " + str(maximumLimit);
    r = s3.select_object_content(
         Bucket=cache,
         Key= 'filename' + '.csv',
         ExpressionType='SQL',
         Expression= query,
         InputSerialization = {'CSV': {"FileHeaderInfo": "Use"}, 'CompressionType': 'NONE'},
         OutputSerialization = {'CSV': {}},
    )
    for event in r['Payload']:
     if 'Records' in event:
         records = event['Records']['Payload'].decode('utf-8')
