===== Update an existing field
// tag::put-field-mapping-exceptions[]
[[add-new-field-to-object]]
===== Add new properties to an existing object field
You can't change the mapping of an existing field, with the following
exceptions:
You can use the put mapping API
to add new properties
to an existing <<object,`object`>> field.
To see how this works,
try the following example.
* You can add new <<properties,properties>> to an <<object,`object`>> field.
* You can use the <<multi-fields,`field`>> mapping parameter to enable
multi-fields.
* You can change the value of the <<ignore-above,`ignore_above`>> mapping
parameter.
Changing the mapping of an existing field could invalidate data that's already
indexed. If you need to change the mapping of a field, create a new index with
the correct mappings and <<docs-reindex,reindex>> your data into that index. If
you only want to rename a field, consider adding an <<alias, `alias`>> field.
// end::put-field-mapping-exceptions[]
For example:
Use the <<indices-create-index,create index>> API
to create an index
with the `name` object field
and an inner `first` text field.

[[add-multi-fields-existing-field-ex]]
===== Add multi-fields to an existing field
<<multi-fields,Multi-fields>>
let you index the same field
in different ways.
You can use the put mapping API
to update the `fields` mapping parameter
and enable multi-fields for an existing field.
To see how this works,
try the following example.
Use the <<indices-create-index,create index>> API
to create an index
with the `city` <<text,text>> field.
[source,console]
----
PUT /my_index
{
"mappings": {
"properties": {
"city": {
"type": "text"
}
}
}
}
----
While text fields work well for full-text search,
<<keyword,keyword>> fields are not analyzed
and may work better for sorting or aggregations.
Use the put mapping API
to enable a multi-field for the `city` field.
This request adds the `city.raw` keyword multi-field,
which can be used for sorting.
[source,console]
----
PUT /my_index/_mapping
{
"properties": {
"city": {
"type": "text",
"fields": {
"raw": {
"type": "keyword"
}
}
}
}
}

{
"my_index" : {
"mappings" : {
"properties" : {

"fields" : {

}
}
}

[[change-existing-mapping-parms]]
===== Change supported mapping parameters for an existing field
The documentation for each <<mapping-params,mapping parameter>>
indicates whether you can update it
for an existing field
using the put mapping API.
For example,
you can use the put mapping API
to update the <<ignore-above,`ignore_above`>> parameter.
To see how this works,
try the following example.
Use the <<indices-create-index,create index>> API to create an index
containing a `user_id` keyword field.
The `user_id` field
has an `ignore_above` parameter value
of `20`.
[source,console]
----
PUT /my_index
{
"mappings": {
"properties": {
"user_id": {
"type": "keyword",
"ignore_above": 20
}
}
}
}
----
Use the put mapping API
to change the `ignore_above` parameter value
to `100`.
[source,console]
----
PUT /my_index/_mapping
{
"properties": {
"user_id": {
"type": "keyword",
"ignore_above": 100
}
}
}
----
// TEST[continued]
Use the <<indices-get-mapping,get mapping>> API
to verify your changes.

----

----
{
"my_index" : {
"mappings" : {
"properties" : {
"user_id" : {
"type" : "keyword",
"ignore_above" : 100
}
}
}
}
}
----
[[updating-field-mappings]]
===== Change the mapping of an existing field
// tag::change-field-mapping[]
Except for supported <<mapping-params,mapping parameters>>,
you can't change the mapping or field type of an existing field.
Changing an existing field could invalidate data that's already indexed.
If you need to change the mapping of a field,
create a new index with the correct mapping
and <<docs-reindex,reindex>> your data into that index.
// end::change-field-mapping[]
To see how this works,
try the following example.
Use the <<indices-create-index,create index>> API
to create the `users` index
with the `user_id` field
with the <<number,`long`>> field type.
[source,console]
----
PUT /users
{
"mappings" : {
"properties": {
"user_id": {
"type": "long"
}
}
}
}
----
Use the <<docs-index_,index>> API
to index several documents
with `user_id` field values.
[source,console]
----
POST /users/_doc?refresh=wait_for
{
"user_id" : 12345
}
POST /users/_doc?refresh=wait_for
{
"user_id" : 12346
}
----
// TEST[continued]
To change the `user_id` field
to the <<keyword,`keyword`>> field type,
use the create index API
to create the `new_users` index with the correct mapping.
[source,console]
----
PUT /new_users
{
"mappings" : {
"properties": {
"user_id": {
"type": "keyword"
}
}
}
}
----
// TEST[continued]
Use the <<docs-reindex,reindex>> API
to copy documents from the `users` index
to the `new_users` index.
[source,console]
----
POST /_reindex
{
"source": {
"index": "users"
},
"dest": {
"index": "new_users"
}
}
----
// TEST[continued]
The API returns the following response:

[[rename-existing-field]]
===== Rename a field
// tag::rename-field[]
Renaming a field would invalidate data already indexed under the old field name.
Instead, add an <<alias, `alias`>> field to create an alternate field name.
// end::rename-field[]
For example,
use the <<indices-create-index,create index>> API
to create an index
with the `user_identifier` field.
[source,console]
----
PUT /my_index
{
"mappings": {
"properties": {
"user_identifier": {
"type": "keyword"
}
}
}
}
----
Use the put mapping API to add the `user_id` field alias
for the existing `user_identifier` field.
[source,console]
----
PUT /my_index/_mapping
{
"properties": {
"name": {
"properties": {
"last": { <2>
"type": "text"
}
}
},
"user_id": {
"type": "keyword",
"ignore_above": 100 <3>
"type": "alias",
"path": "user_identifier"
}
}
}
-----------------------------------
----
// TEST[continued]
<1> Create an index with a `first` field under the `name` <<object>> field, and a `user_id` field.
<2> Add a `last` field under the `name` object field.
<3> Update the `ignore_above` setting from its default of 0.
Use the <<indices-get-mapping,get mapping>> API
to verify your changes.
Each <<mapping-params,mapping parameter>> specifies whether or not its setting
can be updated on an existing field.
[source,console]
----
GET /my_index/_mapping
----
// TEST[continued]
The API returns the following response:
[source,console-result]
----
{
"my_index" : {
"mappings" : {
"properties" : {
"user_id" : {
"type" : "alias",
"path" : "user_identifier"
},
"user_identifier" : {
"type" : "keyword"
}
}
}
}
}
