Re: Mapping Arrays - Weird Question

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch

Hi,

There is no need for a particular type for arrays[1]. Elasticsearch
automatically detects arrays, so instead of declaring a field as an array,
you need to declare what it contains. For example, assuming that
variablesUsed is an array of strings, you could define it as

"variablesUsed" : {"type" : "string", "store" : true, "index" : "analyzed"}

So I'm working on the JSON mapping for several of our documents and one of
the fields happens to be a string array.

I looked at the documentation for how it's supposed to be done and it left
me confused. Could someone clarify it for me?

Here is essentially what I want to happen (part of my mapping):

"properties" :{
...
"variableId" : {"type" : "string", "store" : true, "index" :
"not_analyzed"},
"variableDisplayName" : {"type" : "string", "store" : true, "index" :
"analyzed"},
"variablesUsed" : {"type" : "array", "store" : true, "index" : "analyzed"},
"encryptedStatus" : {"type" : "boolean", "store" : true, "index" :
"not_analyzed"},
...
}

The third line being the string array. I know the syntax is wrong but that
is essentially what i want to accomplish. So with that being said would
this
be how I map it?:
"properties" :{
...
"variableId" : {"type" : "string", "store" : true, "index" :
"not_analyzed"},
"variableDisplayName" : {"type" : "string", "store" : true, "index" :
"analyzed"},
"variablesUsed" : {"type" : "array", "store" : true, "index" : "analyzed"},
"lists" : {
"properties" : {
"variablesUsed" : {"type" : "string", "store" : true,
"index" : "analyzed"}]
}
},
"encryptedStatus" : {"type" : "boolean", "store" : true, "index" :
"not_analyzed"},
...
}
