Existing multi-fields will be upgraded to the new format automatically.
I assume that this means that existing indices with multi-field mappings
will be OK, but whenever I create a new index and add multiple mappings for
a new field, I must use the new syntax and not the old syntax. Is this a
correct assumptions (no problem; I have already converted my mappings in
preparation for RC1 and just want to know that it was worth the time to do
it!)
Hi Brian,
we do upgrade existing mappings converting the old format to the new one.
That means whenever a mapping contains the old format, the get mapping will
output the new one anyway. That works for existing mappings, as well as for
new mappings added using the old format.
That said I'd recommended to switch to the new format anyway, something
that you have already done. Well done then
