Disable date detection in cartographic image
I am indexing a document with a property obj_properties
which is the hash of the property name -> property value. elasticsearch infers that some property values are dates, which leads to the next error when it encounters a subsequent value for the same property that cannot be parsed as a date.
org.elasticsearch.index.mapper.MapperParsingException: failed to parse date field <NON-DATE FIELD within obj_properties>
So, I would like to disable date detection for obj_properties
and something nested within it. Per
(Note, I believe the linked post contains a typo - the field should be date_formats
, not date_format
, but I've tried both ways)
I created the following mapping
mapping do
indexes :name
indexes :obj_properties, type: "object", date_formats: "none"
end
but I keep getting the same exception. The properties in are obj_properties
not known in advance, so it is impossible to create an exhaustive type mapping. Any ideas? Does determining the date of discovery determine the correct approach?

You can turn off date detection for a specific type
one by specifying it in the display:
curl -XPUT 'http://127.0.0.1:9200/myindex/?pretty=1' -d '
{
"mappings" : {
"mytype" : {
"date_detection" : 0
}
}
}
'
or for all types in the index, specifying it by default:
curl -XPUT 'http://127.0.0.1:9200/myindex/?pretty=1' -d '
{
"mappings" : {
"_default_" : {
"date_detection" : 0
}
}
}
'

mapping(date_detection: false) do
indexes :name
indexes :obj_properties, type: "object"
end
then curl 'http://127.0.0.1:9200/myindex/_mapping?pretty=1'
would include date_detection = false
mentioned here
Although I believe this applies to the entire index - not to a specific field
