How to index date object from couchdb-river

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

Hi,

I met a problem during indexing my CouchDB database with an
elasticsearch couchdb-river.
I store a date object in couch document but it is stored as a date
string internally.

The question is, how can I index that date value as a valid date
object in ES?
Is it possible at all?
Maybe it is a good way of enhancement that river? Or maybe not? :slight_smile:

Really thanks for any answer.

Regards,
Marek.

Hi Marek,

You can define your mapping before sending couchDB documents and set your
own date format for it.

http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/reference/mapping/core-types.html

{

"tweet"

:

{

"properties"

:

{

"postDate"

:

{

"type"

:

"date"
,

"format"

:

"YYYY-MM-dd"

}

}

}

}

It should work.

Hi David,

Really thanks for your answer. This will work for me, but there is a small
pain with the knowledge about which fields are dates.
Is there any other solution? I understand the es river plugin can not
automatically recognize a date format from couchdb? Maybe it should be an
option?

Marek.
