I'm creating a new index, one per day. I'd like to set the default mappings used by wildcard. So this way the first time an index is created , the new mappings are used based on the wildcard. I have some fields which are tokens/URLs that I don't want analyzed. So what I want to do is create a mapping saying that these aren't analyzed and then when a new index is created, the default mapping is applied with all my type settings. Is this possible to do by wildcard? For example, "content\*" or do I have to have one per day? One per day wouldn't be super fun. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.
