Hi,

weird behaviour on mapping....

## In a JUnit test I create an index like this:

## // 1) Create the index CreateIndexResponse indexResponse = client.admin().indices().create( createIndexRequest(IDX\_NAME) ).actionGet(); assertTrue(indexResponse.acknowledged());

## then add a mapping for it like this:

## // 2) Create the mapping // NB. This will fail if no such INDEX exists PutMappingRequestBuilder mappBuilder = new PutMappingRequestBuilder(client.admin().indices()); mappBuilder.setSource(mapData); mappBuilder.setIndices(IDX\_NAME); PutMappingResponse mappResponse = mappBuilder.execute().actionGet(); // Double check checkMapping(client); assertTrue(mappResponse.acknowledged());

## here is the mapping

## // The mapping def // FIXME: if using "analyzed" instead of "not\_analyzed" it doesn't work... String mapData = "{ \n" + " "file" : { \n " + " "properties" : { \n" + " "name" : {"type" : "string", "index" : "not\_analyzed", "store" : "yes"} \n" + " }\n" + " }\n" + "}";

What happens is that this only works when using "index" :  
"not\_analyzed"  
I can retrieve the mapping (through the ClusterAdminClient) and see  
it's all there.

when using "index" : "not\_analyzed" it just won't get the mapping I've  
put (although acknowledged() returns true...)  
The mapping that is created is this:  
MAPPING =========\> {"file":{"properties":{"name":  
{"type":"string","store":"yes"}}}}

is this a bug a something wrong in my implementation?

ES version: 0.14.2  
In general I have default settings for everything but I can post the  
whole file if needed.

Thanks  
Stelios

Just found in the docs that "index":analyzed is the default.  
Tested with ommiting the index definition (so it should use the  
default) and the mapping is put correctly.

Just a note regarding your usage of the API, nicer to use this:

client.admin().indices().preparePutMapping(...).set(...).execute().actionGet();
