Julie Tibshirani 3ce7d2c9b6 Make sure to reject mappings with type _doc when include_type_name is false. (#38270 ) `CreateIndexRequest#source(Map<String, Object>, ... )`, which is used when deserializing index creation requests, accidentally accepts mappings that are nested twice under the type key (as described in the bug report #38266). This in turn causes us to be too lenient in parsing typeless mappings. In particular, we accept the following index creation request, even though it should not contain the type key `_doc`: ``` PUT index?include_type_name=false { "mappings": { "_doc": { "properties": { ... } } } } ``` There is a similar issue for both 'put templates' and 'put mappings' requests as well. This PR makes the minimal changes to detect and reject these typed mappings in requests. It does not address #38266 generally, or attempt a larger refactor around types in these server-side requests, as I think this should be done at a later time.		2019-02-05 10:52:32 -08:00

Elasticsearch REST API JSON specification

This repository contains a collection of JSON files which describe the Elasticsearch HTTP API.

Their purpose is to formalize and standardize the API, to facilitate development of libraries and integrations.

Example for the "Create Index" API:

{
  "indices.create": {
    "documentation": "http://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/master/indices-create-index.html",
    "methods": ["PUT", "POST"],
    "url": {
      "path": "/{index}",
      "paths": ["/{index}"],
      "parts": {
        "index": {
          "type" : "string",
          "required" : true,
          "description" : "The name of the index"
        }
      },
      "params": {
        "timeout": {
          "type" : "time",
          "description" : "Explicit operation timeout"
        }
      }
    },
    "body": {
      "description" : "The configuration for the index (`settings` and `mappings`)"
    }
  }
}

The specification contains:

The name of the API (indices.create), which usually corresponds to the client calls
Link to the documentation at http://elastic.co
List of HTTP methods for the endpoint
URL specification: path, parts, parameters
Whether body is allowed for the endpoint or not and its description

The methods and url.paths elements list all possible HTTP methods and URLs for the endpoint; it is the responsibility of the developer to use this information for a sensible API on the target platform.
