Hi,
Maybe, you'll find something here:
> **[null\_value | Elasticsearch Reference \[7.9\] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/null-value.html)**

I am using drupal 8, so I am not having option to map this by custom.

Hi Not sure to understand your need since you're talking about drupal:
- If you don't want 'empty' fields in ES, you have to use 'null\_value' when indexing so a value will be set for those fields.
- If you can not manage the data ingestion (or data is already injected into ES), I think this is not the place to have support about Drupal.
