Possibility to constrain certain field(s) as mandatory field(s)

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

Hi All,

We are using elastic-search for our project. We would like to implement a
feature in our project using elastic search.

We want to make sure that all the saved documents in our project must
contain certain field(s) e.g.
{

USER_ID:"123"
USER_NAME:"Ashutosh"

}

In other words, if the document does not contain the mandatory fields e.g.
USER_ID, it will not be saved.

It will be helpful, if you share your ideas whether it is possible to
define mandatory filed(s) of a document in elastic search?

Thanks for your help.

Best,
Ashutosh

Hi Clinton,

Thank you for your quick response. Presently, we are handling it in our
application but it would have been better for us if we could have difined
some kind of mappiing for the elasticsearch index to make the fielad(s)
mandatory.

Regards,
Ashutosh

The best you can do is reject any documents with fields not explicitly
declared in your mapping. Like Clinton said, mandatory fields are best
handled at the client side.
