Specify type in mapping for nested documents

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

i'm experimenting w/ the nested mapping type and am looking a lots of
examples / blog posts and not seeing any way to specify core types for the
fields in nested documents -- am I missing something or is this not
possible?

Cheers,

David

You can use core types in nested fields of course. Here is an example that
hopefully will clear-up things:

"mappings": {
"my_index": {
"properties": {
"attributes": {
"type": "nested",
"dynamic": "false",
"properties": {
"attribute_id": {
"type": "long"
},
"attribute_name": {
"type": "string"
},
"attribute_values": {
"type": "string"
}
}
}
}
}
}

and notice that dynamic flag is set to false so no other extra field would
be added to the attributes field.
