Nest Inferred mappings output

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

Hi,

I'm using the Nest library and trying to get what the inferred mapping is in JSON.

And are you looking for assistance with this?

You can capture the request and response using OnRequestCompleted() in conjunction with .DisableDirectStreaming()

void Main()
{
	var pool = new SingleNodeConnectionPool(new Uri("http://localhost:9200"));
	var defaultIndex = "default-index";
	var connectionSettings = new ConnectionSettings(pool)
			.DefaultIndex(defaultIndex)
			.PrettyJson()
			.DisableDirectStreaming()
			.OnRequestCompleted(response =>
				{
					// log out the request
					if (response.RequestBodyInBytes != null)
					{
						Console.WriteLine(
							$"{response.HttpMethod} {response.Uri} \n" +
							$"{Encoding.UTF8.GetString(response.RequestBodyInBytes)}");
					}
					else
					{
						Console.WriteLine($"{response.HttpMethod} {response.Uri}");
					}
                    
                    Console.WriteLine();

					// log out the response
					if (response.ResponseBodyInBytes != null)
					{
						Console.WriteLine($"Status: {response.HttpStatusCode}\n" +
								 $"{Encoding.UTF8.GetString(response.ResponseBodyInBytes)}\n" +
								 $"{new string('-', 30)}\n");
					}
					else
					{
						Console.WriteLine($"Status: {response.HttpStatusCode}\n" +
								 $"{new string('-', 30)}\n");
					}
				});
				
	var client = new ElasticClient(connectionSettings);
	
	if (client.IndexExists(defaultIndex).Exists)
		client.DeleteIndex(defaultIndex);

    client.CreateIndex(defaultIndex, c => c
        .Mappings(m => m
            .Map<Document>(mm => mm
                .AutoMap()
            )
        )
    );

}

public class Document
{
    public string Field1 { get; set;} 
}

this yields

PUT http://localhost:9200/default-index?pretty=true 
{
  "mappings": {
    "document": {
      "properties": {
        "field1": {
          "type": "string"
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

You can also use a web debugging proxy such as Fiddler to capture traffic.

Hi Russ,

Thanks for the help on that!
Is there any way else besides making a request out to the cluster to get that json mapping?

  1. Use an InMemoryConnection on ConnectionSettings

    or

  2. pass the CreateIndexDescriptor or CreateIndexRequest to client.Serializer
