Example of mapping a list of complex objects via Java API

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

I've been trying to figure out how to add a list of complex objects via the
Java API as illustrated in the guide here:

http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/reference/mapping/array-type.html

  1. Is there an example of how to do this?
  2. I'd also be interested an example of how to populate the index via
    Java API.

I'm using version 0.18.7.

Thanks.

The index API (Elasticsearch Platform — Find real-time answers at scale | Elastic) can accept any form of json data (byte array, a string). So, you can create your own json with your favorite json lib, and feed it to the index operation (using the several setSource methods).

There is a built in embedded API to generate json (or smile format, which is a binary json format created by the jackson lib). Thats the one used in the example in the link above. It as different startArray methods.

You didn't really answer my questions. I was looking for a specific example
using the Java API.

I resorted to externalizing the mapping to a file similar to how it's done
in ES tests.

Thanks anyway.
