Hi, i have problem with facets. I have documents with user field. In documents is user "vrtak-cz". I use this field as facet (field term). ES split this user in facets to 1. "vrtak" 2. "cz" example data [https://gist.github.com/9bd1e1bc4bf289a576cc](https://gist.github.com/9bd1e1bc4bf289a576cc) ---

Define a mapping for this field. I use a keyword analyzer for the same use case.

I found it 🙂 [https://gist.github.com/9bd1e1bc4bf289a576cc#file\_solution.json](https://gist.github.com/9bd1e1bc4bf289a576cc#file_solution.json) So is it possible set mapping after documents in index? ---

No. You have to define the mapping for a document type before you send the first doc.

Another possibly simpler solution is just to mark the field in the mapping with index set to not\_analyzed (which is the same as using keyword analyzed). Note, in the same, make sure the _analyzer_ is set to that, not just the index\_analyzer. And as David pointed out, you will have to set the mapping when you create the index, and then index the data.
