Does the mapping id parameter in elasticsearch support mapping to a nested field in a json. If yes what is the configuration to specify a nested field. I tried different formats as given below without much success. sc.hadoopConfiguration.set("es.mapping.id", "Batch.BatchId") Thanks in advance for the inputs. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.

I was able to get it working without a nesting field as given below. Is mapping to nested field is supported for the es.mapping.id parameter. Also I am having trouble mapping the date field to timestamp. sc.hadoopConfiguration.set("es.mapping.id", "batchId") sc.hadoopConfiguration.set("es.mapping.names", "date:@timestamp") "date": "2015-01-26T08:52:53ZZ", On Mon, Feb 9, 2015 at 12:54 AM, Deepak Subhramanian [deepak.subhramanian@gmail.com](mailto:deepak.subhramanian@gmail.com) wrote: > Does the mapping id parameter in elasticsearch support mapping to a nested > field in a json.
