Can we get the list of fields of specific index type and index using java? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.

I do this by getting the mappings for a specific index, then isolating by type if desired. This takes care of all explicitly mapped fields, and also any automatically detected and mapped fields. Especially in the latter case, it's a good way to check and see if Elasticsearch is guessing your automatically mapped fields the way you expect.
