Hi,  
I am pretty new to Elastic Search, please help me find out how can I use  
name\_suggest on the data which I capture from ldap river.

I am trying to put the value of _first name_ and _last name_ fetched from  
ldap river directly to _name\_suggest_ input so that these can be used in  
suggestions.

_Step 1_. Created index with name\_suggestor

curl -X PUT localhost:9200/ldapdata4 -d '  
{  
"mappings": {  
"persons1" : {  
"properties" : {  
"dsId" : { "type" : "string" },  
"firstName" : { "type" : "string" },  
"lastName" : { "type" : "string" },  
"name\_suggest" : {  
"type" : "completion"  
}  
}  
}  
}  
}'

Checked the mapping created by running :  
[http://localhost:9200/ldapdata4/\_mapping](http://localhost:9200/ldapdata4/_mapping)

{  
"ldapdata4": {  
"persons1": {  
"properties": {  
"dsId": {  
"type": "string"  
},  
"firstName": {  
"type": "string"  
},  
"lastName": {  
"type": "string"  
},  
"name\_suggest": {  
"type": "completion",  
"analyzer": "simple",  
"payloads": false,  
"preserve\_separators": true,  
"preserve\_position\_increments": true,  
"max\_input\_len": 50  
},  
}  
}  
}  
}

## \*Step 2: \*Restarted the elastic search instance and it fetched the data from ldap.

curl -XPUT 'localhost:9200/\_river/my\_ldap\_river1/\_meta' -d '{  
"type" : "ldap",  
"ldap" : {  
"host" : "[lookup-uat.mycomp.com](http://lookup-uat.mycomp.com)",  
"userDn" : "",  
"credentials" : "",  
"baseDn" : "ou=people,o=mycomp",  
"filter" : "(objectClass=person)",  
"poll" : "86400s",  
"scope" : "subtree",  
"attributes" : [  
"mycompDSID",  
"mycompDSID",  
"givenName",  
"mycompLastName",  
],  
"fields" : [  
"\_id",  
"dsId",  
"firstName",  
"lastName"  
],

- "name\_suggest" : {\*
- 

```
"input" : ["firstName",*

```

- 

```
    "lastName"*

```

- 

```
     ]*

```

- }\*  
},  
"index" : {  
"index" : "ldapdata4",  
"type" : "persons1"  
}  
}'

* * *

_Step 3: Checked the data inserted and found name\_suggestor is not  
populated_  
[http://localhost:9200/ldapdata4/\_search?pretty=true&q=](http://localhost:9200/ldapdata4/_search?pretty=true&q=)_:_

{  
"took" : 3,  
"timed\_out" : false,  
"\_shards" : {  
"total" : 5,  
"successful" : 5,  
"failed" : 0  
},  
"hits" : {  
"total" : 4,  
"max\_score" : 1.0,  
"hits" : [ {  
"\_index" : "ldapdata4",  
"\_type" : "persons1",  
"\_id" : "143",  
"\_score" : 1.0, "\_source" :  
{"lastName":["babot","babbott"],"firstName":"Aarun"}  
}, {  
"\_index" : "ldapdata4",  
"\_type" : "persons1",  
"\_id" : "93",  
"\_score" : 1.0, "\_source" :  
{"lastName":"sacskerson","firstName":"test"}  
}

Please help me, how to put the dynamic data into name suggester.
