Set fielddata=true error

Elastic Stack Kibana
1

After ES 5.0 upgrade we are getting the below error when we do sort in Kibana dashboards.

Error:
Fielddata is disabled on text fields by default. Set fielddata=true on [user_name_terr_grp] in order to load fielddata in memory by uninverting the inverted index. Note that this can however use significant memory.

there someone got the same question and below you see the answer and how you can enable fielddata

But read this too here, for the keyword type, that wont increase the memory usage like fielddata

hope that helps :slight_smile:
