Obtain field names

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

Hi,

Is it possible to obtain the 'field names'[not values] of the indexed
document using java API in elastic search?

IMHO

You could get the mapping of your document type.
You can get your document as a Map and find field names as keys

Does it help ?

Hi,

Thanks for the reply.

I tried the following code:

ClusterState cs =
client.admin().cluster().prepareState().execute().actionGet().getState();
IndexMetaData imd = cs.getMetaData().index(INDEX_NAME);
MappingMetaData mmd = imd.mapping(DOCUMENT_NAME);
Map<String, Object> source = mmd.sourceAsMap();

source.keySet() -- only has the value 'properties'
source.values() -- has the remaining part of the document mapping.

So do I have to parse the values() and extract the 'field names' or is
there any other way to obtain the it.

Correct me if my approach is wrong.

You will need to navigate through the map, or parse the source (using
jackson for example) in order to aggregate all the field names.
