Re: What happens to data in an existing type if we update the mapping to specify 'path's for _id and _routing
You can update a mapping (adding new fields or new sub fields) Old documents won't be updated. A common best practice is to reindex your data. About specific fields like _routing and _id, I think that updating the mapping for them won't work so it will require to reindex. Never tested it though. -- David Pilato | Technical Advocate | elasticsearch.com david.pil...@elasticsearch.com @dadoonet | @elasticsearchfr | @scrutmydocs Le 28 octobre 2014 à 08:13:04, Preeti Raj - Buchhada (pbuchh...@gmail.com) a écrit: Any ideas on this?

What happens to data in an existing type if we update the mapping to specify 'path's for _id and _routing
We are using ES 1.3.2. We have a need to specify custom id and routing values when indexing. We've been doing this using Java APIs, however we would now like to update the mapping to specify 'path's for _id and _routing. The question we have is: 1) Since this type already has a huge number of documents, can we change the mapping? When we tried it, we got a '"acknowledged": true' response, but it doesn't seem to be working when we tried indexing. 2) In case there is a way to achieve this, will it affect only the new documents being indexed? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.
