|
Retrieves <<mapping,mapping definitions>> for one or more fields. This is useful
|
|
if you don't need the <<indices-get-mapping,complete mapping>> of an index or
|
|
your index contains a large number of fields.

===== Example with index setup
|
|
|
|
You can provide field mappings when creating a new index. The following
|
|
<<indices-create-index, create index>> API request creates the `publications`
|
|
index with several field mappings.
|
|
|
|
[source,console]
|
|
--------------------------------------------------
|
|
PUT /publications
|
|
{
|
|
"mappings": {
|
|
"properties": {
|
|
"id": { "type": "text" },
|
|
"title": { "type": "text"},
|
|
"abstract": { "type": "text"},
|
|
"author": {
|
|
"properties": {
|
|
"id": { "type": "text" },
|
|
"name": { "type": "text" }
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
--------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
The following returns the mapping of the field `title` only:
|
|
|
|
[source,console]
|
|
--------------------------------------------------
|
|
GET publications/_mapping/field/title
|
|
--------------------------------------------------
|
|
// TEST[continued]
|
|
|
|
The API returns the following response:
|
|
|
|
[source,console-result]
|
|
--------------------------------------------------
|
|
{
|
|
"publications": {
|
|
"mappings": {
|
|
"title": {
|
|
"full_name": "title",
|
|
"mapping": {
|
|
"title": {
|
|
"type": "text"
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
}

[[get-field-mapping-api-specific-fields-ex]]
|
|
===== Specifying fields
|
|
|
|
The get mapping api allows you to specify a comma-separated list of fields.
|
|
|
|
For instance to select the `id` of the `author` field, you must use its full name `author.id`.
|
|
|
|
[source,console]
|
|
--------------------------------------------------
|
|
GET publications/_mapping/field/author.id,abstract,name
|
|
--------------------------------------------------
|
|
// TEST[continued]
|
|
|
|
returns:
|
|
|
|
[source,console-result]
|
|
--------------------------------------------------
|
|
{
|
|
"publications": {
|
|
"mappings": {
|
|
"author.id": {
|
|
"full_name": "author.id",
|
|
"mapping": {
|
|
"id": {
|
|
"type": "text"
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
},
|
|
"abstract": {
|
|
"full_name": "abstract",
|
|
"mapping": {
|
|
"abstract": {
|
|
"type": "text"
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
--------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
The get field mapping API also supports wildcard notation.
|
|

[[get-field-mapping-api-multi-index-ex]]
|
|
===== Multiple indices and fields
|
|
|
|
The get field mapping API can be used to get the mapping of multiple fields from more than one index
|
|
with a single call. General usage of the API follows the
|
|
following syntax: `host:port/<index>/_mapping/field/<field>` where
|
|
`<index>` and `<field>` can stand for comma-separated list of names or wild cards. To
|
|
get mappings for all indices you can use `_all` for `<index>`. The
|
|
following are some examples:
|
|
|
|
[source,console]
|
|
--------------------------------------------------
|
|
GET /twitter,kimchy/_mapping/field/message
|
|
|
|
GET /_all/_mapping/field/message,user.id
|
|
|
|
GET /_all/_mapping/field/*.id
