Mapper Attachments Type for Elasticsearch
=========================================
[[mapper-attachments]]
=== Mapper Attachments Plugin
The mapper attachments plugin lets Elasticsearch index file attachments in common formats (such as PPT, XLS, PDF) using the Apache text extraction library [Tika](http://lucene.apache.org/tika/).
The mapper attachments plugin lets Elasticsearch index file attachments in common formats (such as PPT, XLS, PDF)
using the Apache text extraction library http://lucene.apache.org/tika/[Tika].
In practice, the plugin adds the `attachment` type when mapping properties so that documents can be populated with file attachment contents (encoded as `base64`).

Installation

==== Installation
In order to install the plugin, run:
This plugin can be installed using the plugin manager:
```sh
bin/plugin install mapper-attachments
```
[source,sh]

The plugin must be installed on every node in the cluster, and each node must
be restarted after installation.
[[mapper-attachments-remove]]

==== Removal
The plugin can be removed with the following command:
[source,sh]
----------------------------------------------------------------
sudo bin/plugin remove mapper-attachments

The node must be stopped before removing the plugin.

If you get a hit for your indexed document, the plugin should be installed and working.
Usage
------------------------
[[mapper-attachments-usage]]
==== Usage
Using the attachment type is simple, in your mapping JSON, simply set a certain JSON element as attachment, for example:
```javascript
[source,js]
--------------------------
PUT /test
PUT /test/person/_mapping
{
@ -66,20 +93,24 @@ PUT /test/person/_mapping

In this case, the JSON to index can be:
```javascript
[source,js]
--------------------------
PUT /test/person/1
{
"my_attachment" : "... base64 encoded attachment ..."
}
```
--------------------------
// AUTOSENSE
Or it is possible to use more elaborated JSON if content type, resource name or language need to be set explicitly:

Both the meta data and the actual content are simple core type mappers (string, date, ), thus, they can be controlled

In the above example, the actual content indexed is mapped under `fields` name `content`, and we decide not to index it, so
it will only be available in the `_all` field. The other fields map to their respective metadata names, but there is no
need to specify the `type` (like `string` or `date`) since it is already known.
Copy To feature
---------------
[[mapper-attachments-copy-to]]
==== Copy To feature
If you want to use [copy_to](http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/mapping-core-types.html#copy-to)
If you want to use http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/mapping-core-types.html#copy-to[copy_to]

Querying or accessing metadata
------------------------------

==== Querying or accessing metadata

Indexed Characters

[[mapper-attachments-indexed-characters]]
==== Indexed Characters
By default, `100000` characters are extracted when indexing the content. This default value can be changed by setting
the `index.mapping.attachment.indexed_chars` setting. It can also be provided on a per document indexed using the
`_indexed_chars` parameter. `-1` can be set to extract all text, but note that all the text needs to be allowed to be
represented in memory:
```
[source,js]

Metadata parsing error handling
-------------------------------
[[mapper-attachments-error-handling]]
==== Metadata parsing error handling
While extracting metadata content, errors could happen for example when parsing dates.
Parsing errors are ignored so your document is indexed.
You can disable this feature by setting the `index.mapping.attachment.ignore_errors` setting to `false`.
Language Detection
------------------

==== Language Detection
By default, language detection is disabled (`false`) as it could come with a cost.
This default value can be changed by setting the `index.mapping.attachment.detect_language` setting.
