Hello, I am using elasticsearch 1.3.2 and try to understand elasticsearch (with my Oracle background ;-)). For testing I use the data available on http://fec.gov/disclosurep/PDownload.do
There is a datafile for every state of the USA. I don't know whether it is a good idea but I want to make 1 index with a type for every state. I want to define the fields and their types in advance. Can I create the index with type AL and add other types after creation? I tried but I was not able to do it. I created the the folloing index curl -XPOST localhost:9200/contributions -d '{ "settings" : { "number_of_shards" : 10, "number_of_replicas" : 1, "_index" : true }, "mappings" : { "AK" : { "properties" : { "cand_id" : { "type" : "string" , "index" : "not_analyzed" }, "cand_nm" : { "type" : "string" }, "cmte_id" : { "type" : "string" } } } , "AL" : { "properties" : { "cand_id" : { "type" : "string" , "index" : "not_analyzed" }, "cand_nm" : { "type" : "string" }, "cmte_id" : { "type" : "string" } } } } }' Can I add types for AR and AZ after creation? They have the same column definition. Is there a better way to achieve this? Regards HansP -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.
