Local query parameter for the GetFieldMapping API

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

Hi,

It is possible to pass a boolean query parameter local [1] that controls whether or not the master node should be accessed when resolving a field's mapping.
Can you clarify how the information differs when that is retrieved locally versus on the master node ?

Thanks,

This parameter should be deprecated as it is not used anymore. Request is always executed locally. Thanks.
