Hi Dom
First, make sure you're using the new Search::Elasticsearch client
https://metacpan.org/pod/Search::Elasticsearch - we've just renamed it to
avoid namespace clashes with older clients.
Then: to configure the mapping yourself, you need to do it before you index
any data (using the bulk method or any other indexing method).
The full Elasticsearch REST API is supported by the Perl client, eg:
1) at index creation time:
$es->indices->create(
index => 'myindex',
body => {
mappings=> {
mytype => {...mapping definition...}
}
}
);
See
https://metacpan.org/pod/Search::Elasticsearch::Client::Direct::Indices#create
2) Update mapping API (note, you can't change existing mappings, just add
new fields/types):
$es->indices->put_mapping(
index => 'myindex',
type => 'mytype',
body => { ... mapping definition ... }
)
See
https://metacpan.org/pod/Search::Elasticsearch::Client::Direct::Indices#put_mapping
