Mapping an object


The object is the base structure (analogous to a record in SQL). ElasticSearch extends the traditional use of objects, allowing the use of recursive embedded objects.

Getting ready

You need a working ElasticSearch cluster.

How to do it...

You can rewrite the mapping of the order type form of the Mapping base types recipe using an array of items:

{
  "order" : {
    "properties" : {
      "id" : {"type" : "string", "store" : "yes", "index":"not_analyzed"},"date" : {"type" : "date", "store" : "no", "index":"not_analyzed"},"customer_id" : {"type" : "string", "store" : "yes","index":"not_analyzed"},"sent" : {"type" : "boolean", "store" : "no","index":"not_analyzed"},
      "item" : {
        "type" : "object",
        "properties" : {
          "name" : {"type" : "string", "store" : "no","index":"analyzed"},
          "quantity" : {"type" : "integer", "store" : "no","index":"not_analyzed"},
          "vat" : {"type" : "double", "store" : "no","index":"not_analyzed"}
        }
