Mapping options (multifields, etc)

[andrewatwood]

Any support for custom mapping? Need to work with some multifields and can't see where to pass these options to the elasticsearchclient.

I don't know what multifields are or custom mappings, sorry. But you can put whatever you want into queryObj as this is directly passed into the ES API.

Good to know.

Turns out the issue I was having was solved by setting custom mapping on your index before ever running Flashlight. As long as you have those options set before the first document is indexed, anything added will follow those rules. Thanks again!

@andrewatwood can you provide details in how you setup custom mapping prior to running firebase ?

[andrewatwood]

@kidequinox yeah just use curl to PUT the JSON of the mapping (https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/indices-put-mapping.html) before running Flashlight and you'll be good to go. Will have to delete and re-map the index whenever you need to change it but if it's right from the beginning it'll work great.
