okay so when I don't have a mapping and I do a GET _mapping it returns this:
{
"test1": {
"mappings": {
"type2": {
"properties": {
"my_int": {
"type": "long"
}
}
Is that not the same as having a mapping?
Then to check the theory I created a mapping as follows:
PUT test2
PUT test2/lll/_mapping
{
"properties": {
"my_int": {
"type": "long"
}
}
}
PUT test2/lll/1
{
"my_int": "1"
}
PUT test2/lll/2
{
"my_int": 2
}
PUT test2/lll/3
{
"my_int": 1.2
}
GET test2/lll/_search
And I get the same results. See *bolded* below:
{
"took": 2,
"timed_out": false,
"_shards": {
"total": 5,
"successful": 5,
"failed": 0
},
"hits": {
"total": 3,
"max_score": 1,
"hits": [
{
"_index": "test2",
"_type": "lll",
"_id": "1",
"_score": 1,
"_source": {
* "my_int": "1"*
}
},
{
"_index": "test2",
"_type": "lll",
"_id": "2",
"_score": 1,
"_source": {
* "my_int": 2*
}
},
{
"_index": "test2",
"_type": "lll",
"_id": "3",
"_score": 1,
"_source": {
* "my_int": 1.2*
}
}
]
}
}
So you can see above there are three values: a string, an int and a float
all stored in the long value ???
Thanks,
