I'm using Elasticsearch v2.3.0. Suppose I have an index with mapping:
{
"mappings": {
"post": {
"dynamic": false,
"_source": {
"enabled": true
},
"properties": {
"text": {
"norms": {
"enabled": false
},
"fielddata": {
"format": "disabled"
},
"analyzer": "text_analyzer",
"type": "string"
},
"subfield": {
"properties": {
"subsubfield": {
"properties": {
"subtext": {
"index": "no",
"analyzer": "text_analyzer",
"type": "string",
"copy_to": "text"
}
}
}
}
}
},
"_all": {
"enabled": false
}
}
}
So, text from subfield.subsubfield.subtext
is copied to text field
due to copy_to
. If you query a post, then only data from text
is shown in text
field, because _source
is not modified. If you want to obtain all text, you should aggregate all fields on client. This can be inconvenient if there are many subfields.
Is there a magic query, which allows to get text
field with all text copied to it?
In the mapping for text
field set "store":"yes"
The you should be able to fetch it using fields
Example:
put test/test/_mapping
{
"properties" : {
"name" : { "type" : "string","copy_to": "text"},
"text" : {"type" : "string" ,"store" :"yes"},
"subfield": {
"properties": {
"subsubfield": {
"properties": {
"subtext": {
"index": "no",
"type": "string",
"copy_to": "text"
}
}
}
}
}
}
}
put test/test/1
{
"name" : "hello",
"subfield" : {
"subsubfield" : [
{"subtext" : "soundgarden" },
{"subtext" : "alice in chains" },
{"subtext" : "dio" }
]
}
}
post test/_search
{
"stored_fields": [
"text"
]
}

"took": 2,
"timed_out": false,

"total": 5,

},
"hits": {

}
}

}
}
