Hello, I had the following error while creating a new mapping: File "/opt/acme/pypyve1/site-packages/pyelasticsearch/client.py", line 96, in decorate return func(\*args, query\_params=query\_params, \*\*kwargs) File "/opt/acme/pypyve1/site-packages/pyelasticsearch/client.py", line 658, in put\_mapping query\_params=query\_params) File "/opt/acme/pypyve1/site-packages/pyelasticsearch/client.py", line 254, in send\_request self.\_raise\_exception(resp, prepped\_response) File "/opt/acme/pypyve1/site-packages/pyelasticsearch/client.py", line 269, in \_raise\_exception raise error\_class(response.status\_code, error\_message) ElasticHttpError: (400, u'RemoteTransportException[[Richard II][inet[/142.4.217.197:9300]][indices/mapping/put]]; nested: MergeMappingException[Merge failed with failures {[mapper [id] has different index values, mapper [id] has different `norms.enabled` values, mapper [id] has different tokenize values, mapper [id] has different index\_analyzer]}]; ') Does anyone know what it means?

It appears you are updating the mapping of an existing index. Not all values can be changed in an existing index since although Elasticsearch/Lucene might be schemaless, some underlying data structures are constructed with certain properties upon initialization. In your case, you cannot change the norms or index\_analyzer of the id field. -- Ivan On Sat, Mar 15, 2014 at 2:00 PM, Eduardo Manrique [eduardo@s1mbi0se.com.br](mailto:eduardo@s1mbi0se.com.br)wrote: > Hello, > > I had the following error while creating a new mapping: > > File "/opt/acme/pypyve1/site-packages/pyelasticsearch/client.py", line > 96, in decorate > return func(\*args, query\_params=query\_params, \*\*kwargs) > File "/opt/acme/pypyve1/site-packages/pyelasticsearch/client.py", line > 658, in put\_mapping > query\_params=query\_params) > File "/opt/acme/pypyve1/site-packages/pyelasticsearch/client.py", line > 254, in send\_request > self.\_raise\_exception(resp, prepped\_response) > File "/opt/acme/pypyve1/site-packages/pyelasticsearch/client.py", line > 269, in \_raise\_exception > raise error\_class(response.status\_code, error\_message) > ElasticHttpError: (400, u'RemoteTransportException[[Richard > II][inet[/142.4.217.197:9300]][indices/mapping/put]]; nested: > MergeMappingException[Merge failed with failures {[mapper [id] has > different index values, mapper [id] has different `norms.enabled` values, > mapper [id] has different tokenize values, mapper [id] has different > index\_analyzer]}]; ') > > Does anyone know what it means? > > Thanks! > > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups > "elasticsearch" group. > To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an > email to [elasticsearch+unsubscribe@googlegroups.com](mailto:elasticsearch+unsubscribe@googlegroups.com). > To view this discussion on the web visit > [https://groups.google.com/d/msgid/elasticsearch/4123f6a2-e181-45a4-8d0a-b7b1369b920a%40googlegroups.com](https://groups.google.com/d/msgid/elasticsearch/4123f6a2-e181-45a4-8d0a-b7b1369b920a%40googlegroups.com)[https://groups.google.com/d/msgid/elasticsearch/4123f6a2-e181-45a4-8d0a-b7b1369b920a%40googlegroups.com?utm\_medium=email&utm\_source=footer](https://groups.google.com/d/msgid/elasticsearch/4123f6a2-e181-45a4-8d0a-b7b1369b920a%40googlegroups.com?utm_medium=email&utm_source=footer) > . > For more options, visit [https://groups.google.com/d/optout](https://groups.google.com/d/optout). -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.
