Adding new fields to an existing Index

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch

Hi,

Is it possible to specify the type and analyzer while adding a new field to
an existing index?
Looks like ES identifies automatically the type and uses the default
analyzer.

Would appropriate your help.

Thanks

You can use Put Mapping API to add new fields with proper mapping before
the first instance of such field is indexed. See

for more information.
