Reading ttl setting from a file

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

Hi, I am currently reading a mapping from a file, my call to create the
index and mapping is this:

client.admin().indices().create(new
CreateIndexRequest(INDEX).settings(settingsBuilder).mapping(CHAT_TYPE,
chat).mapping(MUC_TYPE, muc)).actionGet();

my 'chat' string (mapping) has the following:
{
"chat" : {
"properties":{
"_timestamp" : {
"enabled" : true
},

"from_jid":{"index":"not_analyzed","type":"string"},

"to_jid":{"index":"not_analyzed","type":"string"},
"_ttl" : { "enabled" : "true", "default" : "2m" },
......

this fails on the ttl line stating:
org.elasticsearch.index.mapper.MapperParsingException: mapping [chat]

... 4 more

It seems the _ttl is not being recognized as an internal field.....

Also, if i enable ttl for a mapping, does ttl need to be enabled on the
cluster level as well? I'm not sure if this is even possible. I would
like to set ttl on the index level rather than a cluster or doc level.

Thanks.

Additional info...I am running ES v0.19.8 and I am trying to set ttl from a
transport client.

bump....

how is the community assigning ttl for documents? Are you setting it at
the mapping level or the document level?
