Hi. I tried to disable field \_source using mapping like this  
curl -XPOST localhost:9200/test1 -d '{  
"mappings" : {  
"test1" : {  
"\_source" : {  
"enabled" : false  
}  
}  
}'

When data is loaded to elasticsearch with logstash, there are only 3 fields with any text:  
\_id \_type and \_index. Other fields with data are missing.  
But when i parse my logs , there are at least 6 fields.  
Did someone has problems like this?

No, there is no way to get offsets for a specific term.
