Hello, I know for sure that one document will be more important than another of the same type. How can I set boost level for the documents at index time? I couldn't find the way to do this using Java API, nor any other way. Thank you, Eugene -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.
