Elasticsearch Is it possible to set a mapping for a field in an index for all types?

Question

The Elasticsearch cluster can contain several indexes (databases), which, in turn, contain several types (tables). Is it possible to set a mapping for an index in an index for all types?

Answer 1

Use the _default_ display option in the index. When the type is created, it will have the field mapping you are looking for.

PUT /my_index{ "mappings": { "_default_": { "properties": { "field1": { "type": "string", "index": "analyzed" } } } } 

You can also use the Index Template if you want all new indexes to have this default setting. I think it would be nice to improve dynamic templates at the index level so that they can be applied to different types. Now it is impossible.

Answer 2

Perhaps you could use the Multiple PUT Request Index: http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/indices-put-mapping.html#put-mapping-multi-index
