Different content for _source and what gets indexed. Possible?

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

Say, I have a document that I want to be in _source as-is but I want to index only its abridged version.

How can I do that?

I'm using connection.bulk_data.write() presently but can switch to using connection.index() or any other API that allows that.

Thanks!

You'll need to supply a custom mapping when you create your index
that turns off indexing of fields you wish to omit.

Hi,

The content of _source is exactly the JSON data was received by ES. It
isnt changed in anyway. To change what is indexed, as Drew stated, you
need to define a mapping for your content which can include different
analysis components to change what is indexed.

Thanks, Drew.

That did it. FWIW mapping for field was index='no'
