I have documents which are indexed from fs river I want to create a facet that filter document folowing their type (. pdf. doc. txt etc.) .... what is the best ways to do ? I create different types under the same index for exemple: documents that have "pdf" type will be indexed under "myDoc" index and have "pdf" type , document with type txt will be indexed under the same index but have a "txt" type.... after I create my facet on the type field is there another way to do it? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.

Hey if you really mean the type of the document (not some metadata inside of the document), how about this curl -X POST 'localhost:9200/test/\_search?pretty' -d '{ "query":{ "match\_all" : {} }, "facets" : { "types" : { "terms" : { "field" :"\_type"} } } }' In case I didnt get your question completely, just ask harder 🙂 On Tue, Apr 2, 2013 at 3:08 PM, Ammar Yahia [yahia.ammar.info@gmail.com](mailto:yahia.ammar.info@gmail.com)wrote: > I have documents which are indexed from fs river > I want to create a facet that filter document folowing their type (. pdf. > doc. txt etc.) .... > what is the best ways to do ? > > I create different types under the same index for exemple: documents that > have "pdf" type will be indexed under "myDoc" index and have "pdf" type , > document with type txt will be indexed under the same index but have a > "txt" type.... > > after I create my facet on the type field > > is there another way to do it? > > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups > "elasticsearch" group. > To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an > email to [elasticsearch+unsubscribe@googlegroups.com](mailto:elasticsearch+unsubscribe@googlegroups.com). > For more options, visit [https://groups.google.com/groups/opt\_out](https://groups.google.com/groups/opt_out). -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.

is elasticsearch can detect the type of document at indexing time and assigns it to a field in the meta data of the document ?? ie when indexing a document type pdf, it automatically detects that this is a PDF document, and updates a field in the meta data document, this field indicate a type of indexed docuement -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.

No. Mapper attachment does not autodetect types. See [save all tika metadata · Issue #1 · elastic/elasticsearch-mapper-attachments · GitHub](https://github.com/elasticsearch/elasticsearch-mapper-attachments/issues/1) I think we can solve this but it's not here yet. -- David Pilato | Technical Advocate | [Elasticsearch.com](http://Elasticsearch.com) @dadoonet | @elasticsearchfr | @scrutmydocs Le 2 avr. 2013 à 16:08, Ammar Yahia [yahia.ammar.info@gmail.com](mailto:yahia.ammar.info@gmail.com) a écrit : > is elasticsearch can detect the type of document at indexing time and assigns it to a field in the meta data of the document ?? > ie when indexing a document type pdf, it automatically detects that this is a PDF document, and updates a field in the meta data document, this field indicate a type of indexed docuement > > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group. > To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an email to [elasticsearch+unsubscribe@googlegroups.com](mailto:elasticsearch+unsubscribe@googlegroups.com). > For more options, visit [https://groups.google.com/groups/opt\_out](https://groups.google.com/groups/opt_out). -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.
