Equivalent setting for following mapping in Elasticsearch 5.x

dadoonet · March 31, 2017, 6:41am

For now, the only way to solve that I believe is at index time or using an ingest script processor.

I opened the following issue for discussion:

github.com/elastic/elasticsearch

null_value is not supported for text fields

``` DELETE test PUT test { "mappings": { "my_type": { "propert…ies": { "status_code": { "type": "text", "null_value": "NULL" } } } } } ``` This is now failing in 5.x. Either it's a bug and we should still support it or we should document it as a breaking change for people who are moving their `string` mapping to `text`. Thoughts?
