Custom field mapping

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

hi all,

Sorry for the basic question - I'll appreciate any help :slight_smile:

I configured the field mapping of my index using the following json struct:

{ "template" : "", "order" : 10, "mappings" : { "couchbaseCheckpoint" : {
"_source" : { "includes" : ["doc."] }, "dynamic_templates": [ {
"store_no_index": { "match": "", "mapping": { "store" : "no", "index" :
"no", "include_in_all" : false } } } ] }, "default" : { "_source" : {
"includes" : ["meta."] }, "properties" : { "meta" : { "type" : "object",
"include_in_all" : false } } } }}

A typical document that I'm inserting looks like this:

{
"meta": {
"id": "1234",
"rev": "1-0001e50821cebfb80000000000000000",
"expiration": 0,
"flags": 0
},
"doc": {
"date": 12123321312
}
}

Now for the question - How to customize the mapping definition described
above so that the field "date" will be parsed as date (epoc time format)
and not as the result of auto mapping (type long).

Hello CB ,

You can declare it as normal time type and it should be able to identify
epoch format be default.

"The date type will also accept a long number representing UTC milliseconds
since the epoch, regardless of the format it can handle.
" from

Thanks
