Mapping base types


Using explicit mapping allows you to be faster when you start inserting data using a schema-less approach, without being concerned about the field types. Therefore, in order to achieve better results and performance when indexing, it's necessary to manually define a mapping.

Fine-tuning the mapping has some advantages, as follows:

  • Reduces the size of the index on disk (disabling functionalities for custom fields)

  • Indexes only interesting fields (a general boost to performance)
