[[coerce]]
|
|
=== `coerce`
|
|
|
|
Data is not always clean. Depending on how it is produced a number might be
|
|
rendered in the JSON body as a true JSON number, e.g. `5`, but it might also
|
|
be rendered as a string, e.g. `"5"`. Alternatively, a number that should be
|
|
an integer might instead be rendered as a floating point, e.g. `5.0`, or even
|
|
`"5.0"`.
|
|
|
|
Coercion attempts to clean up dirty values to fit the datatype of a field.
|
|
For instance:
|
|
|
|
* Strings will be coerced to numbers.
|
|
* Floating points will be truncated for integer values.
|
|
|
|
For instance:

<1> The `number_one` field will contain the integer `10`.
|
|
<2> This document will be rejected because coercion is disabled.
|
|
|
|
TIP: The `coerce` setting is allowed to have different settings for fields of
|
|
the same name in the same index. Its value can be updated on existing fields
|
|
using the <<indices-put-mapping,PUT mapping API>>.

|
|
==== Index-level default
|
|
|
|
The `index.mapping.coerce` setting can be set on the index level to disable
|
|
coercion globally across all mapping types:

|
[source,js]

"coerce": true

--------------------------------------------------

// TEST[catch:bad_request]
|
|
<1> The `number_one` field overrides the index level setting to enable coercion.
|
|
<2> This document will be rejected because the `number_two` field inherits the index-level coercion setting.
