hello there. I noticed that when Elasticsearch has a mapping error the only place it gets reported is in the elasticsearch.log file as an exception (mult-line log entry), is there an API to get these? I'd like to log these errors so I can report them back to the creator, whats the best way to handle this? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.
