If i use the URL (GET /qa/\_mapping) to get field config , i will get this :

```auto
{
  "qa": {
    "mappings": {
      "questionAndAnswer": {
        "properties": {
          "answerCount": {
            "type": "integer"
          },
          "content": {
            "type": "text",
            "analyzer": "smartcn"
          }
        }
      }
    }
  }
} 

```

I can not know the field -- "type" whether be stored or be indexed .

Please format your code using `</>` icon as explained in [this guide](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/about-the-elasticsearch-category/21). It will make your post more readable.

Or use markdown style like:

````

It depends. Type integer is indexed and not stored. Look at the default values at [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/5.2/number.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/5.2/number.html)

This is my mappings:

```auto
PUT /qa
{
  
  "settings": {
    "number_of_shards": 3,
    "number_of_replicas": 0
  }, 
  "mappings": {
    "questionAndAnswer":{
      "properties":{
        "answerCount":{
          "type": "integer",
          "index": false
        },
        "content":{
          "type": "text",
          "analyzer": "smartcn"
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

```

My question is how to know answerCount indexed?

I don't understand your question sorry.

But if you set `index` to `false` then it won't be indexed.
