Here is my setup: - index: "en" - type: "product" the mapping file is at ES\_HOME/config/mappings/\_default/product.json it contains: { "product" : { "dynamic\_templates" : [ { "template\_1" : { "match" : "\*", "match\_mapping\_type" : "string", "mapping" : { "type" : "string", "omit\_norms" : "yes", "store": "no", "index": "not\_analyzed"} } } ], "\_all" : {"enabled" : false}, "properties" : { "pid" : { "type" : "string", "store" : "yes", "index" : "not\_analyzed" }, "rid" : { "type" : "string", "store" : "yes", "index" : "not\_analyzed" }, "pgrp" : { "type" : "string", "store" : "yes", "index" : "not\_analyzed" }, "descl" : { "type" : "string", "store" : "no", "index" : "analyzed", "boost" : 1.0 }, "descs" : { "type" : "string", "store" : "no", "index" : "analyzed", "boost" : 1.3 } }}} Index is created like: ``` node = NodeBuilder.nodeBuilder().data(true).node(); client = node.client(); ``` client.admin().indices().prepareCreate("en").execute().actionGet(); And indexed like: ``` final IndexRequestBuilder irb = client.prepareIndex(getIndexName(), ``` getIndexType(), p.getProductId()).setSource(b); irb.execute().actionGet(); When I do a get, I get the following: { \_index: "en", \_type: "product", \_id: "58d2ccf1-abc6-4a61-9eca-7c4d342b48c8", \_version: 2, exists: true, \_source: { pid: "58d2ccf1-abc6-4a61-9eca-7c4d342b48c8", rid: "44fe535f-4531-48bd-82d1-d96b6ef2bbe7", descl: "The Way Home", descs: "The Way Home" } } I believe the mapping is not taking effect because "descl" & "descs" have been defined as "store":"no". My understanding is that these fields should not have been stored in the index and therefore should not be returned. "[http://localhost:9200/en/\_settings](http://localhost:9200/en/_settings)" returned following which also indicate no mappings { en: { settings: { index.number\_of\_shards: "5", index.number\_of\_replicas: "1", index.version.created: "190399" } } } Questions: what am I doing wrong? Is there other ways to verify the mappings are properly applied? I am using Java client. ---

When you do a get mapping, do you see the one you defined? It looks good...

When you specify "store":"no" in the mapping, it controls if the field is stored or not as a separate field. Your get request returns the source, not individual stored fields, so, the presence of the field in the source doesn't really indicate that the field was stored individually. You can disable storing source and remove fields from the source. See [Elasticsearch Platform — Find real-time answers at scale | Elastic](http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/reference/mapping/source-field.html) for more details. To verify that mapping was properly applied, simply run curl 'localhost:9200/en/product/\_mapping' On Tuesday, May 15, 2012 12:45:37 PM UTC-4, Helen Poon wrote: > Here is my setup: > > - index: "en" > - type: "product" > > the mapping file is at ES\_HOME/config/mappings/\_default/product.json > it contains: > > { > "product" : { > "dynamic\_templates" : [ > { > "template\_1" : { > "match" : "\*", > "match\_mapping\_type" : "string", > "mapping" : { "type" : "string", "omit\_norms" : > "yes", "store": "no", "index": "not\_analyzed"} > } > } > ], > "\_all" : {"enabled" : false}, > "properties" : { > "pid" : { > "type" : "string", > "store" : "yes", > "index" : "not\_analyzed" > }, > "rid" : { > "type" : "string", > "store" : "yes", > "index" : "not\_analyzed" > }, > "pgrp" : { > "type" : "string", > "store" : "yes", > "index" : "not\_analyzed" > }, > "descl" : { > "type" : "string", > "store" : "no", > "index" : "analyzed", > "boost" : 1.0 > }, > "descs" : { > "type" : "string", > "store" : "no", > "index" : "analyzed", > "boost" : 1.3 > } > }}} > > Index is created like: > > ``` > node = NodeBuilder.nodeBuilder().data(true).node(); > client = node.client(); > > ``` > > client.admin().indices().prepareCreate("en").execute().actionGet(); > > And indexed like: > > ``` > final IndexRequestBuilder irb = > > ``` > > client.prepareIndex(getIndexName(), > getIndexType(), p.getProductId()).setSource(b); > irb.execute().actionGet(); > > When I do a get, I get the following: > > { > \_index: "en", > \_type: "product", > \_id: "58d2ccf1-abc6-4a61-9eca-7c4d342b48c8", > \_version: 2, > exists: true, > \_source: { > pid: "58d2ccf1-abc6-4a61-9eca-7c4d342b48c8", > rid: "44fe535f-4531-48bd-82d1-d96b6ef2bbe7", > descl: "The Way Home", > descs: "The Way Home" > } > } > > I believe the mapping is not taking effect because "descl" & "descs" > have been defined as "store":"no".
