Hi! I am creating an index, creating a mapping and importing documents via pyes into ElasticSearch version 0.20.6. Although my mapping should disable the \_source field, all result items still contain that field. Is this a problem with pyes? This is my code, basically: es.indices.create\_index(new\_index) mapping = { '\_source': {'enabled': False}, '\_all': {'enabled': True}, ... } es.indices.put\_mapping("submission", {'properties': mapping}, [new\_index]) Even the \_mapping output from ES confirms this: submission: { properties: { \_source: { type: "object", enabled: false}, ... However, all my search output contains the \_source field per document. Marian -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.

Hi Marian, I think the problem is that your "\_source" ended up under "properties", as if it would be a field from your document. It should be directly under your "submissions" mapping type. Like: 'submissions': { '\_source': { 'enabled': False }, 'properties': { #your document's properties here } } I'm not sure how to fix the issue from pyes, I guess you need to make it like the above and then send with es.indices.put\_mapping("submission", mapping, [new\_index]) ## Best regards, Radu [http://sematext.com/](http://sematext.com/) -- Elasticsearch -- Solr -- Lucene On Mon, Apr 8, 2013 at 9:52 PM, Marian Steinbach \<[marian.steinbach@gmail.com](mailto:marian.steinbach@gmail.com) > wrote: > Hi! > > I am creating an index, creating a mapping and importing documents via > pyes into Elasticsearch version 0.20.6. > > Although my mapping should disable the \_source field, all result items > still contain that field.
