Hi All,
I am trying to update mapping of an existing index "tweetindex" which has
no data.
Initial mapping of "tweetindex "index is:
{
"tweet" : {
"\_source" : { "enabled" : false},
"properties" : {
"field1" : { "type" : "string", "index" :
"not\_analyzed","store":"yes" },
"field2" : { "type" : "string", "index" :
"analyzed","store":"yes" }
}
}
}
New mapping which i want is:
{
"tweet" : {
"\_source" : { "enabled" : false},
"properties" : {
"field1" : { "type" : "string", "index" :
"no","store":"yes" },
"field2" : { "type" : "string", "index" :
"analyzed","store":"yes" }
}
}
}
I want to update mapping of field1 from _not\_analyzed_ to _no_ But its
throwing an exception:
{"error":"MergeMappingException[Merge failed with failures {[mapper
[field1] has different index values, mapper [field1] has different
tokenize values, mapper [field1] has different
index\_analyzer]}]","status":400}
Any suggestion regarding this will be really helpful !!

You have to reindex with a new type (or new index).
