Hi,  
Is it possible to store dynamically changing hashmap values in elastic  
search document and index it?  
Eg: my name field must have a {blue=\>black, white=\>red}  
value which I can search.  
Thanks,  
Lavanya

Lavanya,

Something like this?

{  
"name": [  
{ "blue": "black" },  
{ "white": "red" }  
]  
}

Also how would you want to search it, for example?
