All - I am working on a POC to replace Lucene implementation in our product with ElasticSearch. Was looking for a way in Elasticsearch to create an object and setting the field's Indexing behavior (i.e, store, type, index\_type) dynamically while indexing a document. I understand that that you can create a mapping per index defining the behavior. Is there a way to achieve something similar to the way we do it in lucene as shown below? * * * //create lucene document and add fields and their indexing attributes Document doc = new Document(); Field field = new Field("name", "name1", Field.Store.YES, Field.Index.NOT\_ANALYZED); doc.add(field); field = new Field("address", "address", Field.Store.YES, Field.Index.DO\_NOT\_INDEX); doc.add(field); writer.updateDocument(term, doc); * * * -Vidhya -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.

My bet is that you are looking for templates or so? Not sure I fully understood the use case though. -- David 😉 Twitter : @dadoonet / @elasticsearchfr / @scrutmydocs Le 7 févr. 2014 à 10:20, Srividhya Umashanker [srividhya.umashanker@gmail.com](mailto:srividhya.umashanker@gmail.com) a écrit : > All - > > I am working on a POC to replace Lucene implementation in our product with Elasticsearch. > > Was looking for a way in Elasticsearch to create an object and setting the field's Indexing behavior (i.e, store, type, index\_type) dynamically while indexing a document. > I understand that that you can create a mapping per index defining the behavior.
