Hello everyone, Is there a way to create a mapping in elastic search (version 1.4.2) with a version number. So that next time, we can verify if mapping needs to be updated using PUT request in elastic search or not based on version number? For example, I create a mapping A within an index and version it A.x. During next release, I perform a check to determine the version of existing index mapping and accordingly perform an update using PUT API of index mapping. Please suggest.

Hi Isn't this a job for source control? In there you should have a releases branch and the latest release should contain your mapping file. I don't think using ES as a poor man's source control system is a good idea. If ES dies and you need to do a complete rebuild then you will need to get the scripts from somewhere and source control is that place.
