I created a type 'post' _curl -XPUT localhost:9200/facebook/post/\_mapping -d '_ _{_ - "post": {\* - ``` "_id": {* ``` - ``` "path": "post_id"* ``` - ``` },* ``` - ``` "_ttl": {* ``` - ``` "enabled": true* ``` - ``` },* ``` - ``` "_source": {* ``` - ``` "enabled": false* ``` - ``` },* ``` - ``` "properties": {* ``` - ``` "post_id": {* ``` - ``` "type": "long"* ``` - ``` },* ``` - ``` "user": {* ``` - ``` "type": "string",* ``` - ``` "store": true* ``` - ``` },* ``` - ``` "message": {* ``` - ``` "type": "string",* ``` - ``` "store": true* ``` - ``` }* ``` - ``` }* ``` - }\* _}'_ Then I add a document _curl -XPOST -s localhost:9200/facebook/post -d '{"post\_id":1,"user":"kimchy","message":"Hello World","field1":"foo","field2":"bar"}'_ It successfully adds the document. Is this the default behaviour? Shouldn't it throw an exception saying that the new properties are not supported for this type\* \* \* \* Then I do a simple search: _curl -XPOST -s localhost:9200/facebook/post/\_search?q=foo | jq '.'_ I get the result: _{_ - "hits": {\* - "hits": [\* - ``` {* ``` - ``` "_score": 0.11506981,* ``` - ``` "_id": "1",* ``` - ``` "_type": "post",* ``` - ``` "_index": "facebook"* ``` - ``` }* ``` - ],\* - "max\_score": 0.11506981,\* - "total": 1\* - },\* - "\_shards": {\* - "failed": 0,\* - "successful": 3,\* - "total": 3\* - },\* - "timed\_out": false,\* - "took": 4\* _}_ Is it possible to make the default value of index for all fields "no" rather than 'analyzed' since fields are added automatically? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.

Shouldn't it throw an exception saying that > the new properties are not supported for this type Yes, that is the default behavior. Your mapping will be updated dynamically when new fields are indexed. You can change this behavior in two ways: setting index.mapper.dynamic to false [1] or setting the dynamic property to strict [2]. - > - > > Then I do a simple search: _curl -XPOST -s > localhost:9200/facebook/post/\_search?q=foo | jq '.'_ > I get the result: > > Is it possible to make the default value of index for all fields "no" > rather than 'analyzed' since fields are added automatically? Look into dynamic templates [3].
