Disable date detection for already created type

[necrolax (லக்ஷ்மணன் நாராயணன்)]

Hi All,

I tried disabling date detection before a type being created dynamically but Is there a way I can disable date detection for already created type?

No, you can't do that.

Thanks for the reply @sreeram. Is there a way i can send date as string in elastic search ?

Just map it as a String in the mapping before indexing the first document.

Thanks @dadoonet.

Please find my scenario below. I already have a property value of data type String. When i try to insert date for property value i am getting MergeMappingException. Hence i wanted to disable date.

Please find my mappings below. I have property called parameters which will have reference to it and hence it defines mappings recursively. For exisiting level of depth, even if i give date for values it is considering that as string, but if introduce new level I am getting error.
