Question about boost field

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

I modified a mapping to specify which field to use for a document boost:

"_boost" : {"name" : "BoostValue", "null_value" : 1.0}

The field is also defined in the mapping:

"BoostValue" : {"type":"float"}

The boost seems to be correctly applied and appears in the document,
but does not appear in the mapping. Is this situation correct?

Cheers,

Ivan

You mean when you do get mapping, you don't see it? It should be there (if
its not there, it means that it won't be applied...), can you create a
simple repro to show it if thats the case?
