Using existing field for mapping

I am new to elastic search, I have created an index "cmn" with a type
"mention". I am trying to import data from my existing solr to
elasticsearch, so I want to map an existing field to the _id field.

I have created the following file under /config/mappings/cmn/,

{
    "mappings": {
"mentions":{

"_id" : {
"path" : "docKey"
}
}
}
}

But this doesn't seem to be working, every time I index a record the
following _id is created,

        "_index": "cmn",
        "_type": "mentions",
        "_id": "k4E0dJr6Re2Z39HAIjYMmg",
        "_score": 1

Also, the mapping is not reflects. I have also tried the following option,

{
    "mappings": {

"_id" : {
"path" : "docKey"
}
}
}

Also, how can we create unique mapping for each "TYPE" and not just the
index.

Thanks

What API are you using to communicate with ES ?

I am using Java API, but have tried doing this using,

  1. putting a mapping file in /config/mapping etc.
  2. Using curl

  1. Try go execute GET http://yourhost:9200/_mapping and check if the
    mapping mentions is properly created with correct _id path
  2. When indexing the documents you can construct your index request this
    way:

IndexRequestBuilder indexRequestBuilder = getClient().prepareIndex(index,
type).setSource(data);

where data is your Map or JSON you want to index

I tested with curl (-XPUT for mapping and -XPOST for indexing ! ) and seems
like it works :slight_smile:
I'm also using _id path and Java API in my own project and have no problems
with it so far
