One way I found was to use a script as was mentioned here: http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/docs-update.html There is an example of how to remove a field from a document.
Is there any other way this can be achieved? For example, if i want to delete the field "field1" from a document, would the below request do that? curl -XPOST 'localhost:9200/test/type1/1/_update' -d '{ "field1": null }' -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.
