Hi there, I'd like to define a mapping for a hash map but I do not manage to get it right. Here is the kind of documents I'd like to index: { "message" : "Elasticsearch test 1", "dates": { "create": "2014-01-11", "update": "2014-06-12" } }
{ "message" : "Elasticsearch test 2", "dates": { "date_1": "2014-01-11", } } Note: date_1 is on purpose, I cannot know at mapping definition how many dates I will have to deal with. As is, without mapping it works automagically (probably thanks to type autodetection) but is there a mean to get it done without ? My problem is that I might have stuff like that too: { "message" : "Elasticsearch test 3", "strings": { "string_1": "some text", "string_2": "2014-01-11" } } { "message" : "Elasticsearch test 4", "strings": { "string_2": "some other text" } } In this case I need to be able to enforce that string_2 is not a date What is the right way to do it ?
