Mapper Demo Type for ElasticSearch

The mapper demo plugin illustrates how to code your own mapper plugins with Elasticsearch.

In order to install the plugin, simply run: bin/plugin -install elasticsearch/elasticsearch-mapper-demo/1.0.0.

-----------------------------------------
| Demo Mapper Plugin | ElasticSearch    |
-----------------------------------------
| master             | 0.20 -> master   |
-----------------------------------------
| 1.0.0              | 0.20             |
-----------------------------------------

The demo type allows to index different a field in two ways:

the field itself
its uppercase value

The demo type is provided as a plugin extension. The plugin is a simple zip file that can be downloaded and placed under $ES_HOME/plugins location. It will be automatically detected and the demo type will be added.

Using the demo type is simple, in your mapping JSON, simply set a certain JSON element as demo, for example:

{
    "person" : {
        "properties" : {
            "my_demo" : { "type" : "demo" }
        }
    }
}

In this case, the JSON to index can be:

{
    "my_demo" : "this is a lowercase sentence"
}

The demo type not only indexes the content of the original field, but also automatically adds a new field with your content in uppercase under the demo property : my_demo.demo.

You can control how you will index it using mappings. For example:

{
    "person" : {
        "properties" : {
            "my_demo" : {
                "type" : "demo",
                "fields" : {
                    "demo" : {"index" : "not_analyzed"}
                }
            }
        }
    }
}

In the above example, the actual uppercase content indexed is mapped under fields name demo, and we decide not to analyze it.
