*Sample data:*
"_source": {
"Id": "ca23459f-cc96-46cb-8ae8-509368467670",
"Title": "TPTest Scaling 10:3"
}
*Trouble:*
Guid is not one of the supported data
types:
http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/mapping-core-types.html
As a result guid by default is indexed as string where dashes '-' are used
to break the long string into terms.
Search and aggregations will produce less than desired results unless the
Id field is mapped as not analysed.
Alternative is to strip off the dashes from the document, but such approach
will require custom serialization/de-serialization for the Guid data-type
in .Net using popular json parser <http://james.newtonking.com/json>.
The challenge is that Guid is widely used in our application and field name
is not always 'Id' and mapping every guid has proven quite time consuming
and in case of a missed mapping the data needs to be re-indexed.
*Request/Question:*
Is there a less effort consuming approach?
Are there plans to support guid as core type?
