Update mapping

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
6

Hi Shay,

Can we change from dynamic:false to dynamic:true in case of custom mapping?

Also it would be useful to know what all can we change in the mapping
which doesn't require the re-indexing of the older data?

Thanks in advance..!!

You can't change the index mapping setting of a field.

I got the same issue with java api 0.19.4, and also with 0.19.3.

Putting new mappings work, but cant update. Code doesnt throw any
exception
or something.

PutMappingRequestBuilder rq =
client.admin().indices().preparePutMapping("someIndex");
rq.setType("xxxx").setSource(TYPE_MAPPING_SOURCE);
rq.setIgnoreConflicts(true);

initial mapping source(TYPE_MAPPING_SOURCE) is something like this:
{
"xxxx" : {
"properties" : {
"someText" : {
"type" : "string",
"index" : "not_analyzed"
}
}
}
}

and im trying to update it to:
{
"xxxx" : {
"properties" : {
"someText" : {
"type" : "string",
"index" : "no"
}
}
}
}

I also tried closing index before trying to update, but it doesnt work
too.

When i set ignoreConflicts,
rq.setIgnoreConflicts(false);

api throws an exception
org.elasticsearch.index.mapper.MergeMappingException: Merge failed with
failures {[mapper [someText] has different index values]}
