Hi, I'm trying to create a mapping for a nested document and I realize that i cannot set the index type of a string field to analyzed: { "action": { "\_all": { "enabled": false }, "\_type": { "index": "no" }, "\_timestamp": { "enabled": true, "store": "yes" }, "\_routing": { "required": true, "path": "userId" }, "properties": { "userId": { "type": "string", "index": "not\_analyzed" }, "extra": { "type": "nested", "properties": { "key": { "type": "string", "index": "not\_analyzed" }, _"value": {_ - "type": "string",\* - "index": "analyzed"\* - }\* } } } } } The above ends up with the following result when calling for the mapping (curl -XGET localhost:9200/my\_index/action/\_mapping?pretty ): { "action": { "\_all": { "enabled": false }, "\_type": { "index": "no" }, "\_timestamp": { "enabled": true, "store": "yes" }, "\_routing": { "required": true, "path": "userId" }, "properties": { "userId": { "type" : "string", "index" : "not\_analyzed", "omit\_norms" : true, "index\_options" : "docs" }, "extra": { "type": "nested", "properties": { "key": { "type" : "string", "index" : "not\_analyzed", "omit\_norms" : true, "index\_options" : "docs" }, _"value": {_ - "type": "string"\* - }\* } } } } } Should it display index type as analyzed? furthermore I cannot search based on this field? Should I search by defining the analyzer? ES version 0.90.7 but i noticed this since version 0.90.2, probably I'm doing something wrong here.

Hi Thomas, I guess it could be because "index":"analyzed" is a default value so basically you don't have to set it??? About your search concern, a curl recreation would help a lot to understand what you are actually doing.

Thanks for your reply Here is an example: { "query":{ "filtered":{ "query":{"term":{"userId":"testUser1"}}, "filter":{ "nested":{ "path":"extra", "query":{ "filtered":{ "query":{"match\_all":{}}, "filter":{ "bool":{ "must":[ {"term":{"key" : "city"}}, {"term":{"value" : "Stockholm"}} ] } } } } } } } }, "size":0 } I have inserted data with key city and value Stockholm in my scenario, the thing is that if I change the mapping to not\_analyzed and run the same scenario i get back data whereas if I set index to analyzed or not set it at all (default value) then I do not get back results which leads me to the conclusion that somehow analyzed is not accepted when setting mapping Thomas On Tuesday, December 17, 2013 5:10:58 PM UTC+2, Thomas wrote: > Hi, > > I'm trying to create a mapping for a nested document and I realize that i > cannot set the index type of a string field to analyzed: > > { > "action": { > "\_all": { > "enabled": false > }, > "\_type": { > "index": "no" > }, > "\_timestamp": { > "enabled": true, > "store": "yes" > }, > "\_routing": { > "required": true, > "path": "userId" > }, > "properties": { > "userId": { > "type": "string", > "index": "not\_analyzed" > }, > "extra": { > "type": "nested", > "properties": { > "key": { > "type": "string", > "index": "not\_analyzed" > }, > _"value": {_ > > - "type": "string",\* > - "index": "analyzed"\* > - }\* > } > } > } > } > } > > The above ends up with the following result when calling for the mapping > (curl -XGET localhost:9200/my\_index/action/\_mapping?pretty ): > > { > "action": { > "\_all": { > "enabled": false > }, > "\_type": { > "index": "no" > }, > "\_timestamp": { > "enabled": true, > "store": "yes" > }, > "\_routing": { > "required": true, > "path": "userId" > }, > "properties": { > "userId": { > "type" : "string", > "index" : "not\_analyzed", > "omit\_norms" : true, > "index\_options" : "docs" > }, > "extra": { > "type": "nested", > "properties": { > "key": { > "type" : "string", > "index" : > "not\_analyzed", > "omit\_norms" : true, > "index\_options" : "docs" > }, > _"value": {_ > > - "type": "string"\* > - }\* > } > } > } > } > } > > Should it display index type as analyzed? furthermore I cannot search > based on this field?

I think it's the intended result. When not\_analyzed, Stockholm is indexed as Stockholm When analyzed, Stockholm is indexed as stockholm TermFilter is not analyzed. So searching for Stockholm will work with not\_analyzed and won't with analyzed.
