#### Post date: [April 27, 2014, 7:45am UTC](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/elasticsearch-java-api-prepareindex-overwrites-existing-mapping/17219/1 "2014-04-27T07:45:08Z")
I'm in trouble with the overwriting action of prepareIndex method in
Elasticsearch Java API.
The problem is that my _mapping definition has changed after new document
has indexed._
First of all, I defined an mapping to set "not\_analyzed" index for a
particular field.
String json = myMethodToGetMapping();
PutMappingResponse pmrs = client.admin().indices().preparePutMapping(
"my\_index").setType("my\_type").setSource(json).setIgnoreConflicts(true).
execute().actionGet();
if (pmrs == null || !pmrs.isAcknowledged()) {
System.out.println("Put Mapping Failure.");
} else {
System.out.println("Put Mapping Success.");
}
In my mapping string(json), there is a field has settings like below.
"myFieldExact":{
"type":"string",
"index": "not\_analyzed",
"dynamic": false
}
After the code has executed, I could see the proper mapping which I want to
get.
curl -XGET http://{my\_ip\_address}:9200/my\_index/my\_type/\_mapping/
{"my\_type":{"properties":{........ "myFieldExact":{"type":"string","index":
"not\_analyzed","omit\_norms":true,"index\_options":"docs"},...... }}}
_HOWEVER_, this mapping has been changed after I put some data using Java
API prepareIndex.
MyObject myObject = new MyObject();
myObject.setMyFieldExact("some-value");
String json = new org.codehaus.jackson.map.ObjectMapper().writeValueAsString
(myObject);
client.prepareIndex("my\_index", "my\_type", "my\_id")
.setSource(json).execute().actionGet();
The document successfully indexed into "my\_index/my\_type/my\_id".
Here is the problem I have.
After the new record has been indexed, the original mapping definition has
changed like below.
curl -XGET http://{my\_ip\_address}:9200/my\_index/my\_type/\_mapping/
{"my\_type":{"properties":{........ "myFieldExact":{"type":"string"},......
}}}
In short, the _"index":"not\_analyzed" property has been gone after the new
document has indexed._
Is there anyone can help me?
Thank you very much in advance.

Probably your first mapping is incorrect or applied to another type or index.

Thanks David Pilato.
However, as I mentioned, I could see the correct mappings for the correct
index and type like below.
curl -XGET http://{my\_ip\_address}:9200/my\_index/my\_type/\_mapping/
{"my\_type":{"properties":{........ "myFieldExact":{"type":"string","index":
"not\_analyzed","omit\_norms":true,"index\_options":"docs"},...... }}}
After I index a new document into the index I got the changed mapping
result for the exactly same GET url.
curl -XGET http://{my\_ip\_address}:9200/my\_index/my\_type/\_mapping/
{"my\_type":{"properties":{........ "myFieldExact":{"type":"string"},......
}}}

Thanks David Pilato.
However, as I mentioned, I could see the correct mappings for the correct
index and type like below.
curl -XGET http://{my\_ip\_address}:9200/my\_index/my\_type/\_mapping/
{"my\_type":{"properties":{........ "myFieldExact":{"type":"string","index":
"not\_analyzed","omit\_norms":true,"index\_options":"docs"},...... }}}

result for the exactly same GET url.
curl -XGET http://{my\_ip\_address}:9200/my\_index/my\_type/\_mapping/
{"my\_type":{"properties":{........ "myFieldExact":{"type":"string"},......
}}}
Here are some more detailed information.
1. I'm using Elasticsearch version 0.90.0.
2. The field "myFieldExact" is actually in an array. The real documents
seem like below.
myFieldList: [
{
myFieldExact: "ABCD-1"
},
{
myFieldExact: "ABCD-2"
},
{
myFieldExact: "ABCD-2"
}
]

I think you are pasting here your actual data.
So it's hard to tell where you are doing something wrong.
May be you could GIST a full curl/SENSE recreation?

OK. Here is my GIST [Elasticsearch overwriting mapping problem GIST · GitHub](https://gist.github.com/jhsbeat/11342294)
In GistTest.java, after I exectued "testPutMappingTemplate()" method, I can
get the mapping below.
{"my\_type":{"properties":{"dataId":{"type":"long"},"myFieldList":{"properties":{"myFieldExact":{"type":"string","index":"not\_analyzed","omit\_norms":true,"index\_options":"docs"}}}}}}
However, after I ran "testIndexNewObject()" method, I got the mapping below.
{"my\_type":{"properties":{"dataId":{"type":"long"},"myFieldList":{"properties":{"myFieldExact":{"type":"string"}}}}}}
Do I have to remove my whole index and recreate it?

From a 10.000 feet point of view, your code looks good to me.
The only for mapping to change as you described is that type has been removed between the two run.
I don't see any other explanation.
What can you see in elasticsearch node logs? Before the first test, after the first test and after the second test?

Thanks David Pilato.
However, as I mentioned, I could see the correct mappings for the correct index and type like below.
curl -XGET http://{my\_ip\_address}:9200/my\_index/my\_type/\_mapping/
{"my\_type":{"properties":{........ "myFieldExact":{"type":"string","index":"not\_analyzed","omit\_norms":true,"index\_options":"docs"},...... }}}
After I index a new document into the index I got the changed mapping result for the exactly same GET url.
curl -XGET http://{my\_ip\_address}:9200/my\_index/my\_type/\_mapping/
{"my\_type":{"properties":{........ "myFieldExact":{"type":"string"},...... }}}
Here are some more detailed information.
I'm using Elasticsearch version 0.90.0.
The field "myFieldExact" is actually in an array. The real documents seem like below.
myFieldList: [
{
myFieldExact: "ABCD-1"
},
{
myFieldExact: "ABCD-2"
},
{
myFieldExact: "ABCD-2"
}
]

I'm in trouble with the overwriting action of prepareIndex method in Elasticsearch Java API.
The problem is that my mapping definition has changed after new document has indexed.
First of all, I defined an mapping to set "not\_analyzed" index for a particular field.
String json = myMethodToGetMapping();
PutMappingResponse pmrs = client.admin().indices().preparePutMapping("my\_index").setType("my\_type").setSource(json).setIgnoreConflicts(true).execute().actionGet();
if (pmrs == null || !pmrs.isAcknowledged()) {
System.out.println("Put Mapping Failure.");
} else {
System.out.println("Put Mapping Success.");
}
In my mapping string(json), there is a field has settings like below.
"myFieldExact":{
"type":"string",
"index": "not\_analyzed",
"dynamic": false
}
After the code has executed, I could see the proper mapping which I want to get.
curl -XGET http://{my\_ip\_address}:9200/my\_index/my\_type/\_mapping/
{"my\_type":{"properties":{........ "myFieldExact":{"type":"string","index":"not\_analyzed","omit\_norms":true,"index\_options":"docs"},...... }}}
HOWEVER, this mapping has been changed after I put some data using Java API prepareIndex.
MyObject myObject = new MyObject();
myObject.setMyFieldExact("some-value");
String json = new org.codehaus.jackson.map.ObjectMapper().writeValueAsString(myObject);
client.prepareIndex("my\_index", "my\_type", "my\_id")
.setSource(json).execute().actionGet();
The document successfully indexed into "my\_index/my\_type/my\_id".
Here is the problem I have.
After the new record has been indexed, the original mapping definition has changed like below.
curl -XGET http://{my\_ip\_address}:9200/my\_index/my\_type/\_mapping/
{"my\_type":{"properties":{........ "myFieldExact":{"type":"string"},...... }}}
In short, the "index":"not\_analyzed" property has been gone after the new document has indexed.
Is there anyone can help me?
