Hi,
I'm trying to disable \_source field, using this:
XContentBuilder data = jsonBuilder().startObject()
.startObject("type")
.startObject("\_source")
.field("enabled", false)
.endObject()
.endObject()
.endObject();
client.admin().indices().create(new
CreateIndexRequest("index").mapping("type", data ));
And looks like \_source is indeed not stored.
Then I'm doing index with:
XContentBuilder jsonBuilder = XContentFactory.jsonBuilder();
jsonBuilder.startObject();
jsonBuilder.field(FROMFIELD,addr.toString());
jsonBuilder.field(RECIPIENTFIELD,addr.toString());
jsonBuilder.field(SUBJECTFIELD,message.getSubject());
jsonBuilder.field("bckdate",backuptimstamp);
jsonBuilder.endObject();
IndexRequestBuilder indexRequest =
client.prepareIndex(this.tenant,this.type,id).setSource(jsonBuilder);
IndexResponse response = indexRequest.execute().actionGet();
The search result returns hits, without source field but as well
without any other field , even on search I'm adding those fields.
Looks like schema is not updated, the question after such a manual
mapping, should schema be updated on index with new fields ?
Thank You and Best Regards.

If you don't store the source, then you need to explicitly store specific fields (and ask for them in the search request) if you want them. It usually makes sense to use the \_source field then storing specific fields separately.

Hi Shay, thank for a quick response,
What do you mean when saying to explicitly store specific fields , I'm
putting them into to JsonBuilder (in the search I do ask for them) ?
Best Regards.

You need to set store to yes in hte mapping for the relevant fields you want to retrieve. Check the mappings section in the guide.

That what I'm trying to understand, I read this section and still
confused, when I'm using such mapping (not dynamic) and then new
fields are cumming - it means I need explicitly to create a mapping
for them ? Or there other way to make mapping dynamic after once I
used static mapping (for \_source).
Best Regards.

You can use dynamic templates to try and define which fields will be stored based on some matching scheme: [Elasticsearch Platform — Find real-time answers at scale | Elastic](http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/reference/mapping/root-object-type.html).

Btw, when I used default-mapping.json and put there:
{
"TEST" : {
"\_source" : {"enabled" : false}
}
}
It worked and all fields are stored by default, should it work in this
way ?
P.S. Still have

No it won't, all fields will not be stored by default.

Strange, as I did this on clean elasticsearch and it work as I
described.

Ok, may be I'm wrong.
Last question, to make a compression on \_source, should I also use
"static" mapping or default-mapping.json or there other way so tell to
elasticsearch to compress it ?

You can use the default-mapping.json option, but then you need to apply it to all nodes. Another option is to use index template, and have the _default_ mapping type applied with compression to source (which is more of an API way to do it).
