-- David ;-) Twitter : @dadoonet / @elasticsearchfr / @scrutmydocs Le 30 juil. 2014 à 08:52, "'Sandeep Ramesh Khanzode' via elasticsearch" <elasticsearch@googlegroups.com> a écrit : Hi, I read it here (http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/docs-update.html) that the _source field needs to be enabled for Update API to work. Does it mean that from Java or REST API, I cannot update any field defined in the type mapping unless the _source is enabled? Can I just use the stored:true on that field and update it? If so, can you please show an example? Thanks, Sandeep -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.
