Update field mappings
- POST also PUT /{index}/_mapping
Add new fields to an existing data stream or index. You can use the update mapping API to:
- Add a new field to an existing index
- Update mappings for multiple indices in a single request
- Add new properties to an object field
- Enable multi-fields for an existing field
- Update supported mapping parameters
- Change a field's mapping using reindexing
- Rename a field using a field alias
Learn how to use the update mapping API with practical examples in the Update mapping API examples guide.

Query parameters
-
allow_no_indicesboolean · default: true -
A setting that does two separate checks on the index expression. If
false, the request returns an error (1) if any wildcard expression (including_alland*) resolves to zero matching indices or (2) if the complete set of resolved indices, aliases or data streams is empty after all expressions are evaluated. Iftrue, index expressions that resolve to no indices are allowed and the request returns an empty result. -
expand_wildcardsunion oneOf · default: open -
Type of index that wildcard patterns can match. If the request can target data streams, this argument determines whether wildcard expressions match hidden data streams. Supports comma-separated values, such as
open,hidden.Supported values include:
all: Match any data stream or index, including hidden ones.open: Match open, non-hidden indices. Also matches any non-hidden data stream.closed: Match closed, non-hidden indices. Also matches any non-hidden data stream. Data streams cannot be closed.hidden: Match hidden data streams and hidden indices. Must be combined withopen,closed, orboth.none: Wildcard expressions are not accepted.

Values:
allopenclosedhiddennone -
ignore_unavailableboolean · default: false -
If
false, the request returns an error if it targets a concrete (non-wildcarded) index, alias, or data stream that is missing, closed, or otherwise unavailable. Iftrue, unavailable concrete targets are silently ignored. -
master_timeoutunion oneOf · default: 30s -
Period to wait for a connection to the master node. If no response is received before the timeout expires, the request fails and returns an error.
-
Values:
-10
Request body
-
dynamic_date_formatsstring[] -
If date detection is enabled then new string fields are checked against 'dynamic_date_formats' and if the value matches then a new date field is added instead of string.
-
_metaobject -
A mapping type can have custom meta data associated with it. These are not used at all by Elasticsearch, but can be used to store application-specific metadata.
-
numeric_detectionboolean · default: false -
Automatically map strings into numeric data types for all fields.
-
propertiesmap string to oneOf -
Mapping for a field. For new fields, this mapping can include:
- Field name
- Field data type
- Mapping parameters
-
<string>union oneOf -
synthetic_source_keepenum -
Supported values include:
none: Synthetic source diverges from the original source (default)arrays: Arrays of the corresponding field or object preserve the original element ordering and duplicate elements. The synthetic source fragment for such arrays is not guaranteed to match the original source exactly, e.g. array [1, 2, [5], [[4, [3]]], 5] may appear as-is or in an equivalent format like [1, 2, 5, 4, 3, 5]. The exact format may change in the future, in an effort to reduce the storage overhead of this option.all: The source for both singleton instances and arrays of the corresponding field or object gets recorded. When applied to objects, the source of all sub-objects and sub-fields gets captured. Furthermore, the original source of arrays gets captured and appears in synthetic source with no modifications.

index_optionsobject -
An optional section that configures the kNN indexing algorithm. The HNSW algorithm has two internal parameters that influence how the data structure is built. These can be adjusted to improve the accuracy of results, at the expense of slower indexing speed.

confidence_intervalnumberdeprecated -
The confidence interval to use when quantizing the vectors. Can be any value between and including
0.90and1.0or exactly0. When the value is0, this indicates that dynamic quantiles should be calculated for optimized quantization. When between0.90and1.0, this value restricts the values used when calculating the quantization thresholds.For example, a value of
0.95will only use the middle95%of the values when calculating the quantization thresholds (e.g. the highest and lowest2.5%of values will be ignored).Defaults to

This supports allelement_typevalues.int4_flat: This utilizes a brute-force search algorithm in addition to automatically half-byte scalar quantization.

similarityenum -
The vector similarity metric to use in kNN search.

indexistrue.Supported values include:
cosine: Computes the cosine similarity. During indexing Elasticsearch automatically normalizes vectors withcosinesimilarity to unit length. This allows to internally usedot_productfor computing similarity, which is more efficient. Original un-normalized vectors can be still accessed through scripts.
The document
_scoreis computed as(1 + cosine(query, vector)) / 2.The
cosinesimilarity does not allow vectors with zero magnitude, since cosine is not defined in this case.dot_product: Computes the dot product of two unit vectors. This option provides an optimized way to perform cosine similarity. The constraints and computed score are defined byelement_type.
When
element_typeisfloat, all vectors must be unit length, including both document and query vectors.The document
_scoreis computed as(1 + dot_product(query, vector)) / 2.When

false, every document must provide a non-null value for the field: a document that omits the field, sets it tonull, or supplies only null values (an empty array or an all-null array) is rejected at index time. A field that definesnull_valueis always exempt, since the configured default removes the absence of a value. Only has an effect when columnar index mode is active. -

Supported values include:
none: Synthetic source diverges from the original source (default)arrays: Arrays of the corresponding field or object preserve the original element ordering and duplicate elements. The synthetic source fragment for such arrays is not guaranteed to match the original source exactly, e.g. array [1, 2, [5], [[4, [3]]], 5] may appear as-is or in an equivalent format like [1, 2, 5, 4, 3, 5]. The exact format may change in the future, in an effort to reduce the storage overhead of this option.all: The source for both singleton instances and arrays of the corresponding field or object gets recorded. When applied to objects, the source of all sub-objects and sub-fields gets captured. Furthermore, the original source of arrays gets captured and appears in synthetic source with no modifications.

type: match_only_text
A variant of text that trades scoring and efficiency of positional queries for space efficiency. This field effectively stores data the same way as a text field that only indexes documents (index_options: docs) and disables norms (norms: false). Term queries perform as fast if not faster as on text fields, however queries that need positions such as the match_phrase query perform slower as they need to look at the _source document to verify whether a phrase matches. All queries return constant scores that are equal to 1.0.
