Mapping for multiple types under one index

Is there an example for mapping multiple geo_point types under one
index. I've searched the group for examples but all of them are for
single types and those work, but I can't get the correct syntax for
multiple types.

sophia

You mean having several fields in the json of type geo_point? Something like
this: gist:1116858 · GitHub? If not, then gist the sample json you
want to map.

Hmmm, I think I don't understand what is meant by type, judging from
you example. I meant something like this gist:1116899 · GitHub

The mapping you gisted looks good, what is not working? Maybe you can gist a
sample of what does not work for you? (Elasticsearch Platform — Find real-time answers at scale | Elastic).

Sorry, I should have attached the error I get when I save the mapping
to a file and register it.

You're just missing the mapping type's name; your curl line should be:

curl -XPUT http://localhost:9200/geo/MYTYPE/_mapping -d map2.json

Also, afaik, if you're sending a file with -d, you need to prepend the name with @ thus

curl -XPUT http://localhost:9200/geo/MYTYPE/_mapping -d @map2.json

Yes, this works if you are mapping only one type. But if you have two types,
you get this error:

curl -XPUT http://localhost:9200/geo/zipcode/_mapping -d @map2.json

{"error":"MapperParsingException[Mapping must have the type as the root
object]","status":400}

Is mapping two types possible with the REST API? Or do I do this via the
java API or through tire?

So you're trying to send 2 mappings on a single call?

The mapping definition needs to include the type as the top level object,
for example: { "zipcode" : { .... } } for the zipcode type.

The Java API and the REST APIs have exactly the same capabilities.

Yes, to the same index.

When I sent the first geo_point (place) mapping to the index and indexed the
data, it works perfectly. I am able to search using a distance filter, etc.

I then sent a second geo_point (zipcode) mapping to the same index and
elasticsearch returned and OK. I then indexed the second set of data.
However, when I use a distance filter, Elasticsearch returns no hits for
the zipcode type, however querying on field works.

I would like to query one index by type with a distance filter.

sophia

You might want to PUT each mapping into ES via a separate cURL call. After that, index a record, then fetch the same mapping to verify that ES is using the mapping you specified and not guessing the type.

Finally, after all the above, if you could also gist the search whereby you're not getting results, that'd help lots.

I think I see what you are trying to do now, you set the two types for the
mapping in the same put mapping request against a type. There is no put
mapping API to put several mappings, you need to do it per type. Another
option that you have is to provide the all mappings in the create index
API:

Thanks y'all. I walked through the process of setting the type mappings one
by one and it works. Not sure what I was doing wrong, but here's the working
process in gist: Elasticsearch, register multiple geo_point types to single index · GitHub

I then sent a second geo_point (zipcode) mapping to the same index and
elasticsearch returned and OK. I then indexed the second set of data.
However, when I use a distance filter, Elasticsearch returns no hits for
the zipcode type, however querying on field works.

I would like to query one index by type with a distance filter.

Yes, this works if you are mapping only one type. But if you have two
types, you get this error:

curl -XPUT http://localhost:9200/geo/zipcode/_mapping -d @map2.json

{"error":"MapperParsingException[Mapping must have the type as the root
object]","status":400}

Is mapping two types possible with the REST API? Or do I do this via the
java API or through tire?

You're just missing the mapping type's name; your curl line should be:

curl -XPUT http://localhost:9200/geo/MYTYPE/_mapping -d map2.json

Also, afaik, if you're sending a file with -d, you need to prepend the
name with @ thus

curl -XPUT http://localhost:9200/geo/MYTYPE/_mapping -d @map2.json

Sorry, I should have attached the error I get when I save the mapping
to a file and register it.

curl -XPUT 'http://localhost:9200/geo/'

curl -XPUT http://localhost:9200/geo/_mapping -d map2.json

{"error":"ActionRequestValidationException[Validation Failed: 1:
mapping type is missing;]","status":500}

The mapping you gisted looks good, what is not working? Maybe you can
gist a
sample of what does not work for you? (

Hmmm, I think I don't understand what is meant by type, judging from
you example. I meant something like this

You mean having several fields in the json of type geo_point?
Something
like
this:gist:1116858 · GitHub, then gist the sample

you
want to map.

Is there an example for mapping multiple geo_point types under

for
single types and those work, but I can't get the correct syntax
for
multiple types.
