[[coerce]]
|
||
|
|
=== `coerce`
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Data is not always clean. Depending on how it is produced a number might be
|
||
|
|
rendered in the JSON body as a true JSON number, e.g. `5`, but it might also
|
||
|
|
be rendered as a string, e.g. `"5"`. Alternatively, a number that should be
|
||
|
|
an integer might instead be rendered as a floating point, e.g. `5.0`, or even
|
||
|
|
`"5.0"`.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Coercion attempts to clean up dirty values to fit the datatype of a field.
|
||
|
|
For instance:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Strings will be coerced to numbers.
|
||
|
|
* Floating points will be truncated for integer values.
|
||
|
|
* Lon/lat geo-points will be normalized to a standard -180:180 / -90:90 coordinate system.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
For instance:

==== Index-level default
|

The `index.mapping.coerce` setting can be set on the index level to disable
|
||
|
|
coercion globally across all mapping types:

// AUTOSENSE

<1> This document will be rejected because the `number_one` field inherits the index-level coercion setting.

|
<2> The `number_two` field overrides the index level setting to enable coercion.
