Read/access field mapping information

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

Hi all,

In my river, I would like to access mapping information based in the
fields.
Example:
Having this mapping:
{
"tweet" : {
"properties" : {
"message" : {"type" : "string", "store" : "yes",
"enabled": false}
}
}
}

I would like to do this...

ClusterState cs =
client.admin().cluster().prepareState().setFilterIndices("my_index").execute().actionGet().getState();
IndexMetaData imd = cs.getMetaData().index("my_index");
MappingMetaData mdd = = imd.mapping("my_type");

HashMap <String, Object> mapped_node = mdd.getMapByPath("message");

... and then get the type, store and enabled as mapped_node keys, with
the corresponding value.

Is this possible?

You will need to parse it yourself from the compressed string that its
stored internally, but I will add a method to return it as Map.

Thanks Shay for the fast answer!
We already parse the mapping ourselves, but it will be easier with a
Map!
