How to include the _id field in the _source

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

Hello,

My projects uses CouchDB and thus each document contains a _id fields
that is uses for couch.
Usually the value for the _id is the [type + dash + number]. e.g
"Location-7".
I also have (in each document) and Id field which holds the integer
value. e.g 7.
In ES I don't need the long string _id used for couch, so I defined (I'm
using NEST):
IdProperty = "id"
And so, my documents are stored like this: /index/Locations/7 instead of *
/index/Locations/Location-7*
The problem is that ES disregards the _id field all together.

Is there a way to tell ES to serialize the _id field as if it was any
other field?

Thanks.
Liron

You can use any field as the ID by using using the path option:
Elasticsearch Platform — Find real-time answers at scale | Elastic You can also
change the analyzer if you want, or just leave the field as not analyzed
(ideally).

Not sure what you mean by "And so, my documents are stored like this:
/index/Locations/7 instead of /index/Locations/Location-7". Fields are
stored, not documents.

Cheers,

Ivan
