Customizing elasticsearch indexes from Couchbase ES plugin

Couchbase Server
1

Hey all,
This is more a question with ElasticSearch, but it’s only because the data is coming from Couchbase. Was wondering if any one else is more familiar with this than I am.
I’m trying to figure out how to customize our elasticsearch index that is being populated from the Couchbase ES XDCR plugin. Say I have a record in CB that looks like this:

{
“className”: “MyClass”,
“id”: “d199c338196dd4b55b3d982383781fdf45701ed6”,
“data”: {},
“created_at”: 1366930369,
“updated_at”: 1366930369,
“version”: 3,
“type”: “Blob”,
“acl”: {}
}

I wanted to customize the index to leave out the “data” field since this is very different depending on the object. I was trying to create a new index with the following:

curl -XPUT localhost:9200/testindex/ -d '
{
“settings”: {
“mappings”: {
“couchbaseDocument”: {
“properties”: {
“doc”: {
“properties”: {
“data”: {
“type”: “object”,
“enabled”: “false”
}
}
}
}
}
}
}
}'

However, the “data” field is still getting indexed. Any ideas on how I should create the ES index to not include the “data” field?

Thanks,
– Joel

Figured it out. The mappings block needs to be a sibling of settings, not a child. The index should look like this:

curl -XPUT localhost:9200/testindex/ -d ‘
{
“settings”: {
…
},
“mappings”: {
“couchbaseDocument”: {
“properties”: {
“doc”: {
“properties”: {
“data”: {
“type”: “object”,
“enabled”: “false”
}
}
}
}
}
}
}’
