Is it possible to use String as _id?

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

Through my experiment, it seems not possible to use string as primary key
in Elasticsearch.
If type String is used , then the _id will be something like this:
"_id":"[B@fe583b"
which uses the object address in jvm instead of the real value.
So, is there any way to generate a composite _id from two integer value?

The _id (metadata _id, that is) is a string value.

The value of the _id string is whatever you set it to (or else a long
string automatically generated by Elasticsearch when the document is
created). You have complete freedom to set it to any string value you wish.

The _id metadata is the closest thing ES has to a unique constraint, and I
use it quite effectively in this way.

Can you share the code that you used to trigger this issue?

So, it seems to be mysql_jdbc_river's problem?
Here is my sql query:
"SELECT concat(fid,cmid) as _id .... FROM forum JOIN comment ..."
I set the concatenation of two integer fields to be the primary key and
causes the problem I described above..
Now I am dividing two tables into separate Types within an Index and using
their own integer id as the primary key.
