Hi, how to to index computed/scripted fields in elasticsearch? i see from documentation that it is possible to run scripts on update and query, but i cant find anything about indexing feels like it will be quite useful feature the problem i have is, that im trying to index json document that have latitude and longitude as 2 separate fields, for example: { "title" : "some title", "description" : "some description", "latitude" : 53.32, "longitude" : -6.12 } and i want to index it into geo\_point field in elasticsearch i will like to avoid any transformations of the document before indexing (as i pull json objects from external source and index them into elasticsearch without "understanding" the document structure) so what im looking for is to be able to define mapping for that field like that: "mappings" : { "comment" : { "properties" : { "latitude" : { "type" : "float" }, "longitude" : { "type" : "float" }, \* "location" : \* - ``` { * ``` - ``` "type" : "geo_point", * ``` - "script" : "doc['latitude'].value + ' ,' + doc['longitude'].value'"\* - ``` }* ``` } } } is it possible with elasticsearch ? thx, -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.

just in case someone else will have similar problem, i created elasticsearch plugin for handling computed fields: > **[GitHub - SkillPages/elasticsearch-computed-fields: Computed fields plugin for...](https://github.com/SkillPages/elasticsearch-computed-fields)** > > Computed fields plugin for ElasticSearch http://www.elasticsearch.org - GitHub - SkillPages/elasticsearch-computed-fields: Computed fields plugin for ElasticSearch http://www.elasticsearch.org Cheers, On Tuesday, October 15, 2013 6:36:05 PM UTC+1, Karol Gwaj wrote: > Hi, > > how to to index computed/scripted fields in elasticsearch? > i see from documentation that it is possible to run scripts on update and > query, but i cant find anything about indexing > feels like it will be quite useful feature > > the problem i have is, that im trying to index json document that have > latitude and longitude as 2 separate fields, for example: > > { > "title" : "some title", > "description" : "some description", > "latitude" : 53.32, > "longitude" : -6.12 > } > > and i want to index it into geo\_point field in elasticsearch > i will like to avoid any transformations of the document before indexing > (as i pull json objects from external source and index them into > elasticsearch without "understanding" the document structure) > > so what im looking for is to be able to define mapping for that field like > that: > > "mappings" : > { > "comment" : > { > "properties" : > { > "latitude" : { "type" : "float" }, > "longitude" : { "type" : "float" }, > > - "location" : \* > - > > ``` > { * > > ``` > > - > > ``` > "type" : "geo_point", * > > ``` > > - "script" : "doc['latitude'].value + ' ,' + doc['longitude'].value'"\* > - > > ``` > }* > > ``` > > } > } > } > > is it possible with elasticsearch ? > > thx, -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.

So this is not possible right? It would be really easy to have such a feature in our mappings.
