Hi All,
There is one idea 😉 , we can
1. get all the documents
2. grep **\_type** field
3. sort
4. filter unique fields
But i cann't retrive all documets via match\_all query 😢 , is there any way to get all documents.

Hi all ,
here the simple way 😊
you can use [jq](https://stedolan.github.io/jq/) ( json parser )
curl -XGET [http://IP](http://IP):PORT/index\_name/\_mapping?pretty | jq '.[].mappings | to\_entries[] | select(.key) |.key'
sure it will give all mappings on that index. worked for me 😄
