Lowercase processor

The lowercase processor converts all the text in a specific field to lowercase letters.

Syntax

The following is the syntax for the lowercase processor:

{
  "lowercase": {
    "field": "field_name"
  }
}

{% include copy-curl.html %}

Configuration parameters

The following table lists the required and optional parameters for the lowercase processor.

Parameter	Required	Description
field	Required	The name of the field containing the data to be converted. Supports template snippets.
description	Optional	A brief description of the processor.
if	Optional	A condition for running the processor.
ignore_failure	Optional	Specifies whether the processor continues execution even if it encounters errors. If set to true, failures are ignored. Default is false.
on_failure	Optional	A list of processors to run if the processor fails.
ignore_missing	Optional	Specifies whether the processor should ignore documents that do not contain the specified field. If set to true, the processor does not modify the document if the field does not exist or is null. Default is false.
tag	Optional	An identifier tag for the processor. Useful for debugging in order to distinguish between processors of the same type.
target_field	Optional	The name of the field in which to store the parsed data. Default is field. By default, field is updated in place.

Using the processor

Follow these steps to use the processor in a pipeline.

Step 1: Create a pipeline

The following query creates a pipeline, named lowercase-title, that uses the lowercase processor to lowercase the title field of a document:

PUT _ingest/pipeline/lowercase-title
{
  "description" : "Pipeline that lowercases the title field",
  "processors" : [
    {
      "lowercase" : {
        "field" : "title"
      }
    }
  ]
}

{% include copy-curl.html %}

Step 2 (Optional): Test the pipeline

It is recommended that you test your pipeline before you ingest documents. {: .tip}

To test the pipeline, run the following query:

POST _ingest/pipeline/lowercase-title/_simulate
{
  "docs": [
    {
      "_index": "testindex1",
      "_id": "1",
      "_source": {
        "title": "WAR AND PEACE"
      }
    }
  ]
}

{% include copy-curl.html %}

Response

The following example response confirms that the pipeline is working as expected:

{
  "docs": [
    {
      "doc": {
        "_index": "testindex1",
        "_id": "1",
        "_source": {
          "title": "war and peace"
        },
        "_ingest": {
          "timestamp": "2023-08-22T17:39:39.872671834Z"
        }
      }
    }
  ]
}

Step 3: Ingest a document

The following query ingests a document into an index named testindex1:

PUT testindex1/_doc/1?pipeline=lowercase-title
{
  "title": "WAR AND PEACE"
}

{% include copy-curl.html %}

Step 4 (Optional): Retrieve the document

To retrieve the document, run the following query:

GET testindex1/_doc/1

{% include copy-curl.html %}
