Hi,
I have added new field url with the existing JSON
test
{
properties{
.
.
.
"url" : { "type" : "string", "store" : "no", "index" :
"not\_analyzed","omit\_norms" : "true", "omit\_term\_freq\_and\_positions" :
"true"}
}
}
For setting up the mapping to all the indices I used,
curl -XPUT [http://localhost:9200/index1/test/\_mapping](http://localhost:9200/index1/test/_mapping)
After running this curl I got
{"error":"ElasticSearchParseException[Failed to derive xcontent
from ]","status":400}
How can I set the new field(ie url) with the existing Index(ie
index1)?
Cheers!
Thanks!
George

You did not provide the command with an actual body (the mapping)...

Thank you Shay, I am using the JSON Mapping as
{
"mappings" : {
```
"test" : {
"_source" : { "enabled" : false },
"_routing" : {
"required" : true,
"path" : "harvestdate"
},
"properties" : {
"infoid" : { "type" : "long", "store" : "yes",
```
"precision\_step" : "0" },
"productid" : { "type" : "string", "store" : "yes",
"index" : "not\_analyzed", "omit\_norms" : "true",
"omit\_term\_freq\_and\_positions" : "true" },
"saleid" : { "type" : "long", "store" : "yes",
"precision\_step" : "0" }
```
}
}
}
```
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" : {
"_source" : { "enabled" : false },
"_routing" : {
"required" : true,
"path" : "harvestdate"
},
"properties" : {
"infoid" : { "type" : "long", "store" : "yes",
```
"precision\_step" : "0" },
"productid" : { "type" : "string", "store" : "yes",
"index" : "not\_analyzed", "omit\_norms" : "true",
"omit\_term\_freq\_and\_positions" : "true" },
"saleid" : { "type" : "long", "store" : "yes",
"precision\_step" : "0" },
"deal" :{ "type" : "string", "store" : "no",
"index" : "not\_analyzed","omit\_norms" : "true",
"omit\_term\_freq\_and\_positions" : "true"}
```
}
}
}
```
I am trying to update this mapping with the Index(index1) by using the
command
curl -XPUT '[http://localhost:9200/index1/test/\_mapping](http://localhost:9200/index1/test/_mapping)' -d '{
"mappings" : {
```
"test" : {
"_source" : { "enabled" : false },
"_routing" : {
"required" : true,
"path" : "harvestdate"
},
"properties" : {
"infoid" : { "type" : "long", "store" : "yes",
```
"precision\_step" : "0" },
"productid" : { "type" : "string", "store" : "yes",
"index" : "not\_analyzed", "omit\_norms" : "true",
"omit\_term\_freq\_and\_positions" : "true" },
"saleid" : { "type" : "long", "store" : "yes",
"precision\_step" : "0" },
"deal" :{ "type" : "string", "store" : "no",
"index" : "not\_analyzed","omit\_norms" : "true",
"omit\_term\_freq\_and\_positions" : "true"}
```
}
}
}'
```
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!
George
