Is it possible to update the \_meta for a index type?

Thanks

Hey,

did anything like this not work as you expected?

curl -X PUT localhost:9200/tweets/

curl -X PUT localhost:9200/tweets/tweet/\_mapping -d '{  
"tweet" : {  
"\_meta" : {  
"attr1" : "value1",  
"attr2" : {  
"attr3" : "value3"  
}  
}  
}  
}  
'

curl -X GET localhost:9200/tweets/tweet/\_mapping

curl -X PUT localhost:9200/tweets/tweet/\_mapping -d '{  
"tweet" : {  
"\_meta" : {  
"attr1" : "value1",  
"attr2" : {  
"attr4" : "value4"  
}  
}  
}  
}  
'

curl -X GET localhost:9200/tweets/tweet/\_mapping
