Can I "upsert" an index dynamically with the source disabled ? --First create the mapping curl -XPUT '[http://localhost:9200/indexName/indexType/\_mapping](http://localhost:9200/indexName/indexType/_mapping)' -d '{"indexType":{"\_source":{"enabled":false}}}' And then here is what I am trying to do. - Create an index (upsert) with an id - Update (upset) with the same id I get the following exception when I try: Caused by: org.elasticsearch.index.engine.DocumentSourceMissingException: [indexName][1] [indexType][id]: document source missing at org.elasticsearch.action.update.TransportUpdateAction.shardOperation( TransportUpdateAction.java:274) at org.elasticsearch.action.update.TransportUpdateAction.shardOperation( TransportUpdateAction.java:210) at org.elasticsearch.action.update.TransportUpdateAction.shardOperation( TransportUpdateAction.java:84) at org.elasticsearch.action.support.single.instance.TransportInstanceSingleOperationAction$AsyncSingleAction$1.run( TransportInstanceSingleOperationAction.java:191) at java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor$Worker.runTask( ThreadPoolExecutor.java:886) at java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor$Worker.run( ThreadPoolExecutor.java:908) at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:680) -- ---

You are trying to index an empty document? Why? "Source disabled" means that ES won't store the document you send but only index it. -- David 😉 Twitter : @dadoonet / @elasticsearchfr / @scrutmydocs Le 6 janv. 2013 à 01:24, [avinsemail@gmail.com](mailto:avinsemail@gmail.com) a écrit : Can I "upsert" an index dynamically with the source disabled ? --First create the mapping curl -XPUT '[http://localhost:9200/indexName/indexType/\_mapping](http://localhost:9200/indexName/indexType/_mapping)' -d '{"indexType":{"\_source":{"enabled":false}}}' And then here is what I am trying to do. - Create an index (upsert) with an id - Update (upset) with the same id I get the following exception when I try: ## Caused by: org.elasticsearch.index.engine.DocumentSourceMissingException: [indexName][1] [indexType][id]: document source missing at org.elasticsearch.action.update.TransportUpdateAction.shardOperation(TransportUpdateAction.java:274) at org.elasticsearch.action.update.TransportUpdateAction.shardOperation(TransportUpdateAction.java:210) at org.elasticsearch.action.update.TransportUpdateAction.shardOperation(TransportUpdateAction.java:84) at org.elasticsearch.action.support.single.instance.TransportInstanceSingleOperationAction$AsyncSingleAction$1.run(TransportInstanceSingleOperationAction.java:191) at java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor$Worker.runTask(ThreadPoolExecutor.java:886) at java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor$Worker.run(ThreadPoolExecutor.java:908) at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:680) -- ---
