Disabling number_detection in dynamic mapping?

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

Hi,

I'm using elasticsearch 0.90.9 as an embedded node and have problems with
numeric_detection of data in a dynamically-mapped type.

I'd like to index data with dynamic mapping, however I'm hitting a
MapperParsingExeption due to attempting to parse a string as a number.
I understand types are propagated to other elements based on the type
assignment of the first instance. So for input data below I think I need to
disable number_detection on the index.

contact :{ info: { 232-433-5435 }, info: { email@email.com } }

So I tried specifically setting the numeric_detection on the index to false

client.admin().indices().prepareCreate(indexName).addMapping(type,
jsonMapping).execute().actionGet();

The mapping for that type doesn't look right: {"requests":{"properties":{}}}

Here is how I get the type mapping in the Java API
ClusterState cs = client.admin().cluster().prepareState().setFilterIndices(
indexName).execute().actionGet().getState();
IndexMetaData imd = cs.getMetaData().index(indexName);
MappingMetaData mdd = imd.mapping(typeName);
mdd.source().string())

Furthermore, I get the same exception upon indexing MapperParsingException:

failed to parse [contact.info] .... Caused by:
java.lang.NumberFormatException: For input string: "foobar"

Is the numeric_detection field the problem in this setting? How else can it
be accessed from the Java API?

Thanks!

Hi Andra

You need to index info as a string:

{ "info": "232-433-5425"}

If numeric_detection is set to true, then it will try to find strings that
look like numbers. It doesn't have any effect on fields indexed as numbers.
