Hi Guys,

I am a newbie to ElasticSearch , I am running into errors when I try to disable dynamic mapping in ElasticSearch settings. I am using ElasticSearch 1.7 version for implementation.

StackTrace :  
8151 [main] WARN org.apache.hadoop.mapred.YarnChild - Exception running child : org.elasticsearch.hadoop.rest.EsHadoopInvalidRequest: Found unrecoverable error [10.74.51.71:9200] returned Not Found(404) - [TypeMissingException[[test\_2017051222] type[[vehicle, trying to auto create mapping, but dynamic mapping is disabled]] missing]]; Bailing out..

I tried this in two different ways :

First via the Settings :

"settings": {  
"number\_of\_shards": 5,  
"number\_of\_replicas": 1,  
"index.query.default\_field":"test",  
"index.refresh\_interval" : "5s",  
"index.mapper.dynamic": false ,  
"analysis": {  
"filter": {  
"ngram\_filter": {  
"type": "ngram",  
"min\_gram": 2,  
"max\_gram": 18,  
"token\_chars": [  
"letter",  
"digit"  
]  
}  
},  
"analyzer": {  
"ngram\_analyzer": {  
"type": "custom",  
"tokenizer": "standard",  
"filter": [  
"lowercase",  
"ngram\_filter"  
]  
}  
}  
}  
}

Second via the mapping :

"mappings": {  
"testing": {  
"dynamic" : "false" ,  
"properties": {  
"field1": {  
"type": "string",  
"index": "analyzed"  
},  
"field2": {  
"type": "string",  
"index": "not\_analyzed"  
},  
"field3": {  
"type": "string",  
"index": "not\_analyzed"  
},  
"field4": {  
"type": "string",  
"index": "analyzed"  
},  
"field5": {  
"type": "string",  
"index": "analyzed"  
}  
}  
}  
}

I am seeing that dynamic mapping is disabled in settings as well as in mapping on ES endpoint but the job fails. I have a avro json mapping file and es json mapping file where avro json mapping file is the superset while es json mapping file is subset. I do not want all the fields in the superset mapping file to be reflected on ES index instead only dump fields which are in subset mapping file. Am I doing it wrong or is there any other way of doing it? Thanks.
