Hi, I have just started using elasticsearch to enable searching through our logs. However, I do not want to store the source in due to store overheads. How can I set the \_source enabled to false using the Java API. Appreciate any help. Thanks, gc -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.

Use PutMapping API. PutMappingResponse response = client.admin().indices() .preparePutMapping(index) .setType(type) .setSource(source).execute().actionGet(); In source, put a String or use XContentBuilder that produce { "tweet" : { "\_source" : {"enabled" : false} } } HTH -- David 😉 Twitter : @dadoonet / @elasticsearchfr / @scrutmydocs Le 28 juin 2013 à 01:02, gc [gitansh@gmail.com](mailto:gitansh@gmail.com) a écrit : Hi, I have just started using elasticsearch to enable searching through our logs.

Thank you David. I tried to do this using the API and it get a successful response. However, when I check the mapping it does not take effect. I tried using command line and same result. Eg: curl -XPUT '[http://localhost:9200/abc/xyz/\_mapping](http://localhost:9200/abc/xyz/_mapping)' -d ' { "xyz" : { "\_source" : {"enabled" : false} } } ' {"ok":true,"acknowledged":true} And when I query the mapping: {"abc":{"xyz":{"properties":{"channel":{"type":"string"},"customer":{"type":"string"},"message":{"type":"string"},"startDate":{"type":"string"}}}}} Is there anything I need to run after I change the mapping?

You can't change some properties on existing mapping. You need to delete it before (it will remove all docs) and then create it again. It looks strange to me that you did not get an error here.
