Dynamic Mapping

Sky_Stebnicki1 · February 2, 2012, 6:19pm

Hi all, I'm new(er) to elasticsearch but pretty experienced with
Apache Solr. In Solr there is a configuration option in solr that
allows me to create dynamic mapping with the prefix or the postfix of
a field name. For instance, if I index a field called 'myvalie_i' then
I can tell solr to always treat that field as an integer because of
the "*_i" postfix.

Is there any way to do that in ElasticSearch?

Thanks so much!

Hey there, Sky. Have a look at dynamic templates:

Thanks for taking the time to write. That is definitely looking like
what I will need. Do you know if there is any way to set the dynamic
mapping template for an entire index rather than for each type?

So I would basically just create a new template for each type right?
For example:

{
"customer" :
{
"dynamic_templates" : [
{
"template_int" : {
"match" : "_i",
"mapping" : {
"type" : "integer"
}
}
},
{
"template_str" : {
"match" : "_s",
"mapping" : {
"type" : "string"
}
}
}
]
}
}

When you put mapping against an index, you can specify the mapping type to be default, and it will apply to any mapping type in that index.

Sorry to resurrect such an old thread, but I had one simple follow-up
question. If I wanted to set this in a configuration file is that possible?
For example:

/config/elasticsearch.yml

mappings :
default :
dynamic_templates :
templ_int :
match : "*_i"
mapping :
type : "int"
index : "not_analyzed"
store : "yes"

Thanks again for your help!

Not in elasticsearch.yml, but you can create an index template
configuration, with a template matching *. Btw, why do you need to have the
int stored?

Sky_Stebnicki1 · April 13, 2012, 2:35pm

Alright, that sounds like what I am looking for, but I cannot get it to
work. I've tried and I'm missing something.

Create /config/templates/template1.yml

template : "",
mappings :
default :
dynamic_templates :
templ_int :
match : "_i"
mapping :
type : "integer"
index : "not_analyzed"
store : "yes"

I also tried
template_1 :
template : "",
mappings :
default :
dynamic_templates :
templ_int :
match : "_i"
mapping :
type : "integer"
index : "not_analyzed"
store : "yes"

But neither of them are applying. http://localhost:9200/_all/_mapping
reveals:

{"test":{"customer":{"properties":{"owner_id_i":{"type":"date","format":"dateOptionalTime"}}}}}

After entering multiple items with fields that match *_i in the "test" index

And is there any reason I would not want to store int? I was just going off the mapping base types.

Thanks,

Sky

AFAIK, if you put templates there, they should be in JSON, not YML:

github.com/elastic/elasticsearch

Index Templates: Allow to place them under config/templates

opened 09:45AM - 15 Feb 12 UTC

closed 09:46AM - 15 Feb 12 UTC

kimchy

>enhancement v0.19.0.RC3

Allow to place index templates under the `config` location within the `templates…` directory. For example, a file called `config/templates/tempalte_1.json` can be placed and it will be applied when it matches an index creation. A sample content for the mentioned file can be: ``` { "template_1" : { "template" : "*", "settings" : { "index.number_of_shards" : 2 }, "mappings" : { "_default_" : { "_source" : { "enabled" : false } }, "type1" : { "_all" : { "enabled" : false } } } } } ```

Please note that the template is added when it matches an index. So I
couldn't see my configured template when I checked the cluster state,
as opposed to how I see them when I just put them via HTTP.

Hmm, the json document is not being applied either. However, I have decided
to just create the template though the API every time the index is created
and that appears to be working really well. Thanks for all your help, the
dynamic templates are exactly what I needed!

Thanks for taking the time to write. That is definitely looking like
what I will need. Do you know if there is any way to set the dynamic
mapping template for an entire index rather than for each type?

So I would basically just create a new template for each type right?
For example:

{
"customer" :
{
"dynamic_templates" : [
{
"template_int" : {
"match" : "_i",
"mapping" : {
"type" : "integer"
}
}
},
{
"template_str" : {
"match" : "_s",
"mapping" : {
"type" : "string"
}
}
}
]
}
}

Not in elasticsearch.yml, but you can create an index template
configuration, with a template matching *. Btw, why do you need to
have the
int stored?

Sorry to resurrect such an old thread, but I had one simple follow-up
question. If I wanted to set this in a configuration file is that
possible?
For example:

/config/elasticsearch.yml

mappings :
default :
dynamic_templates :
templ_int :
match : "*_i"
mapping :
type : "int"
index : "not_analyzed"
store : "yes"

Thanks again for your help!

When you put mapping against an index, you can specify the mapping
type
to be default, and it will apply to any mapping type in that
index.
