Hi All,
I am trying to create an index with a \_timestamp mapping.
curl -XPOST "[http://localhost:9200/test](http://localhost:9200/test)" -d'
{ "settings" :
{ "number\_of\_shards" : 5,
"number\_of\_replicas" : 1},
"mappings" : {
"stats" : {
"\_timestamp" : {
"enabled" : true,
"store" : true }
}}}'
When I am writing the data in the index I dont see the time stamp coming up
curl -XPOST "[http://localhost:9200/test/stats/1](http://localhost:9200/test/stats/1)" -d'{"a":1}'
{"\_index":"test","\_type":"stats","\_id":"1","\_version":1,"created":true}
Why am I not getting \_timestamp, can anyone help?
Thanks
Surajit

Ask for it using fields: [http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/search-request-fields.html#search-request-fields](http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/search-request-fields.html#search-request-fields)
Using timestamp does not modify the original source.
