I get this '100 Variable Size Warning' when I try and create some of my compound metamorph indexes. Does it mean that I am trying to include too many variables in my compound? What does it mean?

It means that you are including a variable size field, e.g. varchar, in the compound metamorph index. Typical usage is to use a virtual field if you are trying to do text searches against the field, and not use varchar data for the additional fields, so the warning message indicates you should double check your create index and make sure it is doing what you really want.
