Hi,  
I created an index, which was named test\_all, and it has a "table" :  
type1. I want to test the usage of "\_all" and "\_source". Now , I change  
their status to false. The mapping as follows:  
$ curl -XGET 'localhost:9200/test\_all/\_mapping/type1?pretty'  
{  
"test\_all" : {  
"mappings" : {  
"type1" : {  
"\_all" : {  
"enabled" :false  
},  
"\_source" : {  
"enabled" : false  
},  
"properties" : {  
"content" : {  
"type" : "string",  
"analyzer" : "ik"  
},  
"title" : {  
"type" : "string",  
"store" : true,  
"analyzer" : "ik"  
}  
}  
}  
}  
}  
}

In the table "type1", I store thetitle information. I insert five  
document in type1. But, when retrievaling them, I could not find the  
field "title" information.

$ curl -XGET 'localhost:9200/test\_all/type1/\_search?pretty'  
{  
"took" : 16,  
"timed\_out" : false,  
"\_shards" : {  
"total" : 5,  
"successful" : 5,  
"failed" : 0  
},  
"hits" : {  
"total" : 5,  
"max\_score" : 1.0,  
"hits" : [ {  
"\_index" : "test\_all",  
"\_type" : "type1",  
"\_id" : "zWQno3rLS56hkwJ\_Y108Dg",  
"\_score" : 1.0  
}, {  
"\_index" : "test\_all",  
"\_type" : "type1",  
"\_id" : "BDKa-IP7TDK\_iM2VNGFPYw",  
"\_score" : 1.0  
}, {  
"\_index" : "test\_all",  
"\_type" : "type1",  
"\_id" : "n97suWSwQACgx35APTOqPg",  
"\_score" : 1.0  
}, {  
"\_index" : "test\_all",  
"\_type" : "type1",  
"\_id" : "2P7OblUiQB2Y8ZCtWWWTdg",  
"\_score" : 1.0  
}, {  
"\_index" : "test\_all",  
"\_type" : "type1",  
"\_id" : "Lo\_PFVeKTEWazwCLbyKAqQ",  
"\_score" : 1.0  
} ]  
}  
}

Then, I try to resolve it by JAVA API:  
public static void indexSearch(Client client){  
SearchRequestBuilder searchRequestBuilder=client.prepareSearch("test\_all");  
searchRequestBuilder.setTypes("type1");  
SearchResponse searchResponse=searchRequestBuilder.execute().actionGet();  
SearchHit[]hits=searchResponse.getHits().getHits();  
System.out.println("count: "+hits.length);  
for(SearchHit hit:hits){  
System.out.println("----------------------------");  
System.out.println("docID: "+hit.getId());  
System.out.println("score: "+hit.getScore());  
System.out.println("title: "+hit.getFields().get("title").toString());  
}  
}

and it shows:

## Exception in thread "main" count: 5

java.lang.NullPointerException  
at es.api.Test\_All.indexSearch(Test\_All.java:64)  
at es.api.Test\_All.main(Test\_All.java:73)  
docID: zWQno3rLS56hkwJ\_Y108Dg  
score: 1.0

I guess the value doesn't exist.

Can you call me why?

Many Thanks.

Hello Wang ,

By default the \_source field stores the input JSON and gives it back for  
each document match.  
If you disable , ES wont be able to return it.  
Hence the result you see.  
By default ES wont make any efforts to tap the "Stored" information , it  
rather takes the json stored in \_source field.

Now to get the text set as "stored" , you need to use the fields option.  
Typically , you need to tell ES , you need so and so fields.  
This information would be searched in "stored" field space rather than  
\_source field.

In your query , you need to mention the fields you are interested in -

```
    searchRequestBuilder.setTypes("type1").fields(["title"] )

```

( equal-ant in Java)

Thanks  
Vineeth
