Hi,
I'm using the default logstash index template which defines all string types to be indexed as text and have a multi-field called keyword to be indexed as a keyword data type:
"string_fields": {
"mapping": {
"norms": false,
"type": "text",
"fields": {
"keyword": {
"type": "keyword"
}
}
},
"match_mapping_type": "string",
"match": "*"
}
I then want to define a custom index template for specific types, where I want string types to be mapped as keyword fields, so I have added this in my index template:
"string_fields": {
"mapping": {
"type": "keyword"
},
"match_mapping_type": "string",
"match": "*"
}
The merged output (when asking for the index template) then looks like:
"string_fields": {
"match": "*",
"match_mapping_type": "string",
"mapping": {
"fields": {
"keyword": {
"type": "keyword"
}
},
"norms": false,
"type": "keyword"
}
}
As you can see, my fields now are of type keyword but also have a multi-field of the same type. This makes sense based on the documentation which states that the merging is "deep"
, but it's not a desired outcome.
Is there any way to (on my override template) remove the keyword multi-field?
Thanks you in advance.
