Hi, I worte a java client to insert indexes into elasticsearch. After succsufuly doing it i wanted to ad a new index with mapping. where i ran into problem > Exception in thread "main" MapperParsingException[Failed to parse mapping [call]: Root mapping definition has unsupported parameters: [number : {type=long}]]; nested: MapperParsingException[Root mapping definition has unsupported parameters: [number : {type=long}]]; > at org.elasticsearch.index.mapper.MapperService.merge(MapperService.java:254) > at org.elasticsearch.cluster.metadata.MetaDataCreateIndexService$1.execute(MetaDataCreateIndexService.java:357) > at org.elasticsearch.cluster.ClusterStateUpdateTask.execute(ClusterStateUpdateTask.java:45) > at org.elasticsearch.cluster.service.ClusterService.runTasksForExecutor(ClusterService.java:581) > at org.elasticsearch.cluster.service.ClusterService$UpdateTask.run(ClusterService.java:920) > at org.elasticsearch.common.util.concurrent.ThreadContext$ContextPreservingRunnable.run(ThreadContext.java:458) > at org.elasticsearch.common.util.concurrent.PrioritizedEsThreadPoolExecutor$TieBreakingPrioritizedRunnable.runAndClean(PrioritizedEsThreadPoolExecutor.java:238) > at org.elasticsearch.common.util.concurrent.PrioritizedEsThreadPoolExecutor$TieBreakingPrioritizedRunnable.run(PrioritizedEsThreadPoolExecutor.java:201) > at java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor.runWorker(ThreadPoolExecutor.java:1142) > at java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor$Worker.run(ThreadPoolExecutor.java:617) > at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:745) > Caused by: MapperParsingException[Root mapping definition has unsupported parameters: [number : {type=long}]] > at org.elasticsearch.index.mapper.DocumentMapperParser.checkNoRemainingFields(DocumentMapperParser.java:145) > at org.elasticsearch.index.mapper.DocumentMapperParser.parse(DocumentMapperParser.java:134) > at org.elasticsearch.index.mapper.DocumentMapperParser.parse(DocumentMapperParser.java:90) > at org.elasticsearch.index.mapper.MapperService.parse(MapperService.java:517) > at org.elasticsearch.index.mapper.MapperService.merge(MapperService.java:282) > at org.elasticsearch.index.mapper.MapperService.merge(MapperService.java:252) > ... 10 more my code is very simple and i a POC > ``` > Settings settings = Settings.builder() > .put("cluster.name", "sharongur").build(); > > ``` > ``` > Client client = new PreBuiltTransportClient(settings) > .addTransportAddress(new InetSocketTransportAddress(InetAddress.getByName("127.0.0.1"), 9300)); > > IndicesAdminClient indicesAdminClient = client.admin().indices(); > > indicesAdminClient.prepareCreate("calls") > .setSettings(Settings.builder() > .put("index.number_of_shards", 10) > ) > .addMapping("call", "{\n" + > > ``` ``` " \"call\": {\n" + " \"properties\": {\n" + " \"id\": {\n" + " \"type\": \"string\"}\n" + " },\n" + " \"number\": {\n" + " \"type\": \"string\"}\n" + " },\n" + " \"name\": {\n" + " \"type\": \"string\"\n" + " }\n" + " }\n" + " }\n" + " }") ``` > ``` > .get(); > > String json = "{" + > > ``` > ``` > "\"id\":\"1\"," + > "\"number\":\"123333333\"," + > "\"name\":\"Sharon Tries Elastic\"" + > "}"; > > IndexResponse response = client.prepareIndex("calls", "call") > .setSource(json) > .get(); > > // Index name > String _index = response.getIndex(); > // Type name > String _type = response.getType(); > // Document ID (generated or not) > String _id = response.getId(); > // Version (if it's the first time you index this document, you will get: 1) > long _version = response.getVersion(); > client.close(); > > ``` > > } EDIT : was working accoridng to this example > **[Indices Administration | Java Transport Client (deprecated) \[7.17\] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/client/java-api/current/java-admin-indices.html)** ---

Hi, it's a bit hard to spot, but your Json is broken (e.g. too much closing brackets after the id-type line) . Try something like this: ```auto .addMapping("call", "{\n" + " \"properties\": {\n" + " \"id\": {\n" + " \"type\": \"string\"},\n" + " \"number\": {\n" + " \"type\": \"string\"},\n" + " \"name\": {\n" + " \"type\": \"string\"}\n" + " }\n" + " }") ``` ---

That was indeed the problem thanks! But now i have a different problem. the document i entered is inside ES but for some reason when i try to get it the source field is empty like so > { > "\_index" : "calls", > "\_type" : "call", > "\_id" : "AVn1sA1Wp3NOn\_HGg7UZ", > "\_score" : 1.0, > "\_source" : { } > } and when i do a GET /\_search i can see all the other indexes i entered ( ones without mapping) their source field is there with the data i inserted. Any idea of why that problem is occuring? ---

Can you please open a new thread for this so we can stay with one topic? Makes it easier for others to follow id they encounter this in the future. ---
