Request on How to change Mapping for all Indices and types at once?

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

Hello All,

I am trying to change the mapping for the below 3 indices/types I have:

Index/Type

twitter/tweet
facebook/post
rss/feeds

I am trying to follow the info given in the link:
http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/reference/api/admin-indices-put-mapping.html

$ curl -XPUT 'http://localhost:9200/rss/feeds/_mapping' -d '{"feeds" :
{"properties" : {"_all" : {"type" : "string", "store" : "yes"}}}}'
Result : {"ok":true,"acknowledged":true} - (I am able to change the mapping
for the index rss of type feeds)

but If I want to change all of the indices and types at once and tried:
$ curl -XPUT 'http://localhost:9200/_all/_mapping' -d '{"_all" :
{"properties" : {"_all" : {"type" : "string", "store" : "yes"}}}}'

{"error":"ActionRequestValidationException[Validation Failed: 1: mapping
type is missing;]","status":500}

curl -XPUT 'http://localhost:9200/_all/_mapping' -d '{"TYPE??????" :
{"properties" : {"_all" : {"type" : "string", "store" : "yes"}}}}'
so How to make this work ? What will be type ??

*The reson why I wanted to change the Mapping: *

I am Using NEST(.NET API)

I am able to index the objects pretty well, but now when I tried to
serialize the object using Json converter and index the string object(c#
code excutes fine but... I get the following error in ElasticSearch Server:)
*
Failed to excute [index { so n so..., Source so n so...]
org.elasticsearch.index.mapper.MapperParsingException: Malformed content,
must start with an object*

Any help will be much appreciated.

Regards,
Shannu.

Hi,

I'm not aware of a way to change all your index settings at once. But if
you want to apply a mapping to all your existing indices, you can use the
Cluster State API[0] to get a list of indices and loop through them to
apply your mapping.

If you want to apply the mapping to every new index, you can use index
templates[1] or config mappings[2].

Best regards,
Radu
