Hi,

I tried few things, one of them is

val res = d.drop("col1").withColumn("col2",lit("a")).withColumn("\_id",lit("AWENjnCoOLO5K8P91uWK"))  
EsSpark.saveJsonToEs(res.toJSON,"master\_file/master",Map("[es.mapping.id](http://es.mapping.id)","\_id"))

You could try setting `es.mapping.exclude` to the name of the id field you are using ([docs](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/hadoop/current/configuration.html#cfg-mapping)). WHen used with the `es.mapping.id` option, the connector will still use the id in the row as the document's id, but not to serialize it as part of the actual document.
