ElasticSearch is an amazing product, that i'm trying to master, but have some queries: I just switched to version 1.0.0 - so the code below is run against that version _1._ I start with a fresh & clean installation and try to add a mapping: PUT infopoint/DIVER/\_mapping { "mapping" : { "DIVER" : { "properties" : { "location" : { "type" : "geo\_point", "lat\_lon": true, "geohash": true }, "image" : {"index" : "no"} } } } } I fail with a IndexMissingException[[infopoint] missing] message You get the idea - i want to have the location geo-hashed and i want to exclude the image from indexing - so that the image is returned on a query, but matching on the image text should not return the document _2._ Ok, i decide to create a infopoint/DIVER with PUT infopoint/DIVER/123 { "name": "Chania Diving", "nameLocal": "Kαταδυτικό Χανίων", "image": "[http://c.commonstorage.google.com/bla/blah/](http://c.commonstorage.google.com/bla/blah/)_blah.jpg_", "location" : { "lat" : 15.5, "lon" : 15.1 }, "area1": "Crete", "area1Local": "Κρήτη", "countryCode": "GR" } After adding the first document, _then_ i i can update the mapping. What i would like to do it set the mapping on \*/infopoint/ \*just once on a fresh elastic-search and have this mapping across all new /_infopoint_/ documents _3._ When i run a search looking for _blah.jpg_ i get a response _☹_ POST infopoint/\_search { "query": { "filtered": { "query": { "query\_string": { "query": "blah.jpg" } } } } } I though i excluded the "image" from the index ☹ \*4. \*I would like to associate some _tags_ to my documents. So for example for the DIVER i would like to add the translations in Greek, Spanish etc languages... so that i can retrieve document even if users use a different language than english As those 'translations' are static, i would like to attach them into the /infopoint/DIVER/ just once instead of having to transmit them every single time i index a document Thanks a lot Any help or pointers to a book or tutorial will be appreciated Antonios -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.

1/2) There are several ways, but one way to create an index + mapping in one shot is: PUT [http://localhost:9200/infopoint](http://localhost:9200/infopoint) { "mappings" : { "DIVER" : { "properties" : { "location" : { "type" : "geo\_point", "lat\_lon": true, "geohash": true }, "image" : {"index" : "no", "type": "string"} } } } } 1. There is an \_all field that is automatically introduced by ES. It contains a concatenation of all the field values in your JSON document. When you do this search: { "query": { "filtered": { "query": { "query\_string": { "query": "blah.jpg" } } } } } You don't specify a field, so by default it looks for "blah.jpg" in the \_all field, which contains the value from your image field (plus all other fields) which is why it matches. If you do something like this: { "query": { "filtered": { "query": { "query\_string": { "query": "image:blah.jpg" } } } } } Then you won't get a match if the image field is not indexed. 1. You can embed translations/tags in your document as additional fields but you will need to reindex the document every time you change it or any of its contents (such as translations/tags). -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.
