Remapping an index

[DavidoffX]

Thanks for the answer Jaspreeet.

Turned out that this as me misunderstanding elasticsearch basics. I was confusing the _source property of a doc with the mapping of an index.

Dynamic mapping setting not honoured

If I create new index with a mapping definition eg. { "mappings": { "dynamic": "false", "properties": { ...} } } and then send data to it with fields that aren't included in the mapping, they are still created dynamically. If I set dynaminc to "strict" then the data sent is dropped. Having dynamic as false seems to give identical behaviour to having it as true, or undefined. Am I missing something? This is with elasticsearch v 7.10.1
