[[mapping-source-field]]
|

|
|
=== `_source`
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The `_source` field is an automatically generated field that stores the
|
||
|
|
actual JSON that was used as the indexed document. It is not indexed
|
||
|
|
(searchable), just stored. When executing "fetch" requests, like
|
||
|
|
<<docs-get,get>> or
|
||
|
|
<<search-search,search>>, the `_source` field is
|
||
|
|
returned by default.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Though very handy to have around, the source field does incur storage
|
||
|
|
overhead within the index. For this reason, it can be disabled. For
|
||
|
|
example:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
[source,js]

|

|
|
{
|
||
|
|
"tweet" : {
|
||
|
|
"_source" : {"enabled" : false}
|
||
|
|
}
|
||
|
|
}
