How to copy only mapping not data

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
#1

Hello There,

I am new to ES, and I want to know if we have any way to copy only mappings not data,

Or any way to create new index with old mappings, without data

Regards,
Sam

GET indexname/_mapping will provide that, then you can copy, paste and then post it to the new index

@warkolm

you mean to say follow below

curl -GET http://localhost:9200/old_index/_mapping?pretty -o old_index.json

curl -X PUT http://localhost:9200/holly_good -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -d @old_index.json

but it gives error

{"error":{"root_cause":[{"type":"mapper_parsing_exception","reason":"analyzer [analyzer_keyword] not found for field [source]"}],"type":"mapper_parsing_exception","reason":"Failed to parse mapping [message]: analyzer [analyzer_keyword] not found for field [source]","caused_by":{"type":"mapper_parsing_exception","reason":"analyzer [analyzer_keyword] not found for field [source]"}},"status":400}

and I am not aware where to define analyzer , I am new to ES can you guide here.

Regards,
SAM

It looks like you are asking about the same error here - Error":{"root_cause":[{"type":"mapper_parsing_exception","reason":"analyzer [analyzer_keyword] not found for field - so let's just keep this one about your original question in this topic

@warkolm @stephenb -
I am sorry I didn't noticed that , since I am new to ES that forced me to ask questions desperately everywhere.

Please guide if possible.
