Limiting an index to only one field

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

Hello.

I have trouble setting up an index to index only one field from a
CouchDB river.

It is a very simple use case:

  • clean ES installation
  • one CouchDB river
  • one index
  • one mapping with one type, with only one field defined.

This is what I do: https://gist.github.com/1688268.

As you can see in a comment attached to the gist, when I do a search I
see that all fields have been indexed.
This is not what I want: I only want to index field "note_text" (which
is the only one relevant for search).

Thanks,
Daniel Gonzalez

I think that you should use a script to filter your couchDb document.

See here : https://github.com/elasticsearch/elasticsearch-river-couchdb/blob/master/README.md

This is what I do: Setup an Elastic Search index which will index only one field: "note_text" · GitHub.

Or you can define in ES mapping the other fields with store:no index:no and disable source.
