Hi All, I am made the custom mapping in the elastic search but when i am integrating with the river plugin it is being overwritten the whole couchdb mapping with the documents which is being indexed... So how should be i follow the approach so that my mapping will not get overwritten by the river plugin to elastic search. Thanks Narendra -- ---

Could you send a gist with all curl commands you are executing? I suspect that you are doing something wrong here. -- David 😉 Twitter : @dadoonet / @elasticsearchfr / @scrutmydocs Le 22 nov. 2012 à 08:00, narendra [choudharynarendra@gmail.com](mailto:choudharynarendra@gmail.com) a écrit : > Hi All, > > I am made the custom mapping in the Elasticsearch but when i am integrating with the river plugin it is being overwritten the whole couchdb mapping with the documents which is being indexed... > > So how should be i follow the approach so that my mapping will not get overwritten by the river plugin to Elasticsearch. > > Thanks > Narendra > > -- -- ---

Hi David, This is how I am creating index and mapping. I just want to index firstName field of document. Though, there are other fields as well in doc. curl -XPUT "[http://localhost:9200/lockpoc/](http://localhost:9200/lockpoc/)" -d '{ "settings": { "number\_of\_shards": 5, "number\_of\_replicas": 1, "mappings": { "profiles": { "properties": { "firstName": { "type": "string" } } } } }' This is the command for connecting to CouchDB using river api. After executing river command, mapping gets changed and overriden by default dynamic mapping by CouchDB river. curl -XPUT 'localhost:9200/\_river/ profiles\_db/\_meta' -d '{ "type" : "couchdb", "couchdb" : { "host" : "localhost", "port" : 5984, "db" : "registry", "filter" : null, "user" : "amit", "password" : "amit", "ignore\_attachments":true }, "index" : { "index" : "lockpoc", "type" : "profiles", "bulk\_size" : "100", "bulk\_timeout" : "10ms" } }' This is output of \_river/mapping. I am not sure why dynamic is true here. curl -XGET '[http://localhost:9200/\_river/\_mapping?pretty=1](http://localhost:9200/_river/_mapping?pretty=1)' { "\_river" : { "profiles\_db" : { "properties" : { "couchdb" : { "dynamic" : "true", "properties" : { "db" : { "type" : "string" }, "host" : { "type" : "string" }, "ignore\_attachments" : { "type" : "boolean" }, "last\_seq" : { "type" : "string" }, "password" : { "type" : "string" }, "port" : { "type" : "long" }, "user" : { "type" : "string" } } }, "index" : { "dynamic" : "true", "properties" : { "bulk\_size" : { "type" : "string" }, "bulk\_timeout" : { "type" : "string" }, "index" : { "type" : "string" }, "type" : { "type" : "string" } } }, "node" : { "dynamic" : "true", "properties" : { "id" : { "type" : "string" }, "name" : { "type" : "string" }, "transport\_address" : { "type" : "string" } } }, "ok" : { "type" : "boolean" }, "type" : { "type" : "string" } } } } } On Thu, Nov 22, 2012 at 1:31 PM, David Pilato [david@pilato.fr](mailto:david@pilato.fr) wrote: > Could you send a gist with all curl commands you are executing? > > I suspect that you are doing something wrong here. > > -- > David 😉 > Twitter : @dadoonet / @elasticsearchfr / @scrutmydocs > > Le 22 nov. 2012 à 08:00, narendra [choudharynarendra@gmail.com](mailto:choudharynarendra@gmail.com) a écrit : > > Hi All, > > I am made the custom mapping in the Elasticsearch but when i am > integrating with the river plugin it is being overwritten the whole couchdb > mapping with the documents which is being indexed... > > So how should be i follow the approach so that my mapping will not get > overwritten by the river plugin to Elasticsearch. > > Thanks > Narendra > > -- > > -- -- ---

Try this: curl -XGET [http://localhost:9200/lockproc/\_mapping?pretty=1](http://localhost:9200/lockproc/_mapping?pretty=1) Is it fine? -- David 😉 Twitter : @dadoonet / @elasticsearchfr / @scrutmydocs Le 22 nov. 2012 à 10:49, narendra [choudharynarendra@gmail.com](mailto:choudharynarendra@gmail.com) a écrit : > curl -XGET '[http://localhost:9200/\_river/\_mapping?pretty=1](http://localhost:9200/_river/_mapping?pretty=1) -- ---
