Question

I am using the Elasticsearch JSON Mapping as

{
    "mappings": {
        "test": {
            "_routing": {
                "path": "harvestdate", 
                "required": true
            }, 
            "_source": {
                "enabled": false
            }, 
            "properties": {
                "infoid": {
                    "precision_step": "0", 
                    "store": "yes", 
                    "type": "long"
                }, 
                "productid": {
                    "index": "not_analyzed", 
                    "omit_norms": "true", 
                    "omit_term_freq_and_positions": "true", 
                    "store": "yes", 
                    "type": "string"
                }, 
                "saleid": {
                    "precision_step": "0", 
                    "store": "yes", 
                    "type": "long"
                }
            }
        }
    }
}

1. I am using the Index as index1
2. I have to add a new field in the JSON and it looks like
   
{
"mappings": {
"test": {
"_routing": {
"path": "harvestdate",
"required": true
},
"_source": {
"enabled": false
},
"properties": {
"deal": {
"index": "not_analyzed",
"omit_norms": "true",
"omit_term_freq_and_positions": "true",
"store": "no",
"type": "string"
},
"infoid": {
"precision_step": "0",
"store": "yes",
"type": "long"
},
"productid": {
"index": "not_analyzed",
"omit_norms": "true",
"omit_term_freq_and_positions": "true",
"store": "yes",
"type": "string"
},
"saleid": {
"precision_step": "0",
"store": "yes",
"type": "long"
}
}
}
}
}


I am trying to update this mapping using Elasticsearch with the Index(index1) by using the command

curl -XPUT 'http://localhost:9200/index1/test/_mapping' -d  '{
    "mappings": {
        "test": {
            "_routing": {
                "path": "harvestdate", 
                "required": true
            }, 
            "_source": {
                "enabled": false
            }, 
            "properties": {
                "deal": {
                    "index": "not_analyzed", 
                    "omit_norms": "true", 
                    "omit_term_freq_and_positions": "true", 
                    "store": "no", 
                    "type": "string"
                }, 
                "infoid": {
                    "precision_step": "0", 
                    "store": "yes", 
                    "type": "long"
                }, 
                "productid": {
                    "index": "not_analyzed", 
                    "omit_norms": "true", 
                    "omit_term_freq_and_positions": "true", 
                    "store": "yes", 
                    "type": "string"
                }, 
                "saleid": {
                    "precision_step": "0", 
                    "store": "yes", 
                    "type": "long"
                }
            }
        }
    }
}' 

While checking the mapping the mapping it is not Set with the Updated
Mapping in the Index(index1). What is the error in this curl or mapping?

Thanks in Advance!

Cheers!

I think you need to remove the

"mappings": {

thing. From what I read (don’t remember where, but on the elastic search mailing list, the “mappings” comes from the GET, but should not be here when PUTing, and IIRC, they want to do something in next versions about it).
