Here is Sample/ Test schema format for My JSON

{"eventTime":"2019-12-04T22.14.47.83+0000","action":[{"targetId":"XYZZZZZZZ","sources":["FIRST","SECOND"],"type":"write"},{"targetId":"batch-123456","type":"write"}],"outcome":"success","reason":{"reasonCode":"To save enriched"},"initiator":{"id":"iam-TEST","typeURI":"service/security","name":"nifi-process-1","credential":{"type":"apiKey"},"host":{"address":"11.1.1.1"}},"target":[{"id":"Target-ID-1","typeURI":"URI","name":"crn:v1", "addresses":[{"url":"cos://sample.csv","name":"","port":""}],"startOffset":0,"endOffset":10000},{"id":"batch-1","typeURI":"ibm/wffh/lineage","name":"lineage-event","startOffset":-1,"endOffset":-1}],"observer":{"id":"Observer-1","name":"DL"}}

Through Developer Tools I make this call

**GET demo/\_mapping**

}  
}  
}

}

I enable the fielddata like this

PUT demo/\_mapping  
{  
"properties": {  
"initiator.id": {  
"type": "text",  
"fielddata": true  
}  
}  
}

My question is if I need to find relation between 2 fields in the Graph or say more than 3, do I need to enable fielddata for all those fields ?

Right now I am seeing this Error

Error 400 Bad Request: Fielddata is disabled on text fields by default. Set fielddata=true on [[initiator.id](http://initiator.id/)] in order to load fielddata in memory by uninverting the inverted index. Note that this can however use significant memory. Alternatively use a keyword field instead.

If someone can respond to this Query quick, will be of great help.

Hi @NareshD

The error is stating that field data on text fields is disabled, so you can set field data to true on the initiator.id field as it is a text field or use keyword field instead.

Here are some links I found on setting the field data, that may help:

Thanks,
