Make couchdb river indexing ignore fields

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

I'm currently indexing a couchdb database using the river. I put a bunch of
documents in to begin with and now that my app is running more documents
are being added. Problem is they have different structures and I'm getting
lots of this error:

[0]: index [archive], type [resume], id
[fdf6ad3dcf0b98d88b7161952f327c209ab045d5], message
[MapperParsingException[object mapping for [resume] tried to parse as
object, but got EOF, has a concrete value been provided to it?]]

I understand this error occurs when a document is trying to be indexed that
has a different type than specified in the mapping. I suspect it's a
object-string conflict. However, this is an issue since we have a "data"
node in the documents that can be anything (depending on the source of the
document) and I need the flexibility to index different types of children
under this "data" node.

So in trying to find a solution, I'm trying to see how I can make ES ignore
the entire data node while it's indexing from couchdb. But when I try to
set the mapping like so:

{
"settings" : {
"number_of_shards" : 5,
"number_of_replicas" : 1
},
"mappings" : {
"resume" : {
"properties" : {
"date" : {"type" : "date", "format" : "yyyy-MM-dd
HH:mm:ss"},
"attributes" : {
"properties" : {
"location" : {
"properties" : {
"latlon" : {"type" : "geo_point"}
}
}
}
},
"data" : {
"type" : "object",
"enabled" : false
}
}
}
}
}

it doesnt seem to matter, the data node and it's contents are all showing
up in the index.

  • So, is there a way setup a mapping to ignore entire objects while
    indexing couchdb?
  • I also read about an option "index.mapping.ignore_malformed". How is this
    option used and would it force my index to ignore the conflicts and index
    the rest of the document? How do I set that in the mapping definition?

Thanks,
Beau

There seems to be a bug in elasticsearch where uploading a file with the
attribute "properties" to elasticsearch using a river will result in that
exception. For example, I got the same exception when trying to ensure that
the file server river https://github.com/dadoonet/fsriveruploaded the
following content:
{"properties":"hi"}
I haven't figured out why this is yet.

Hey Amy,

What is your issue with the FileSystem river?
Feel free to open an issue in Issues · dadoonet/fscrawler · GitHub with
your use case. I will check it.

David.

Sorry, I should have qualified that:
The fsriver works fine - the problem was with uploading documents on a
change that I made to my version of the fsriver.
Sorry for misleading you.

Sorry. I don't understand your concern.

You are using the couchDb river, aren't you?
If so, why are you talking about FSRiver?

I can't see what is your architecture here.

Could you elaborate a bit more what you have (couchDb instance, ES instance, ES
plugins) and what you are trying to do (inject Doc in couchDb, then add
attachment and search for it in ES for example)?

David.

    I understand this error occurs when a document is trying to be

indexed that has a different type than specified in the mapping. I
suspect it's a object-string conflict. However, this is an issue since
we have a "data" node in the documents that can be anything (depending

different types of children under this "data" node.

    So in trying to find a solution, I'm trying to see how I can

make ES ignore the entire data node while it's indexing from couchdb.
But when I try to set the mapping like so:

    {
        "settings" : {
            "number_of_shards" : 5,
            "number_of_replicas" : 1
        },
        "mappings" : {
            "resume" : {
                "properties" : {
                    "date" : {"type" : "date", "format" :

"yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss"},
"attributes" : {
"properties" : {
"location" : {
"properties" : {
"latlon" : {"type" :
"geo_point"}
}
}
}
},
"data" : {
"type" : "object",
"enabled" : false
}
}
}
}
}

    it doesnt seem to matter, the data node and it's contents are

all showing up in the index.

    - So, is there a way setup a mapping to ignore entire objects

while indexing couchdb?
- I also read about an option
"index.mapping.ignore_malformed". How is this option used and would it
force my index to ignore the conflicts and index the rest of the
