Multiple Mappings in elastic search for one single Index

Question

I have some fields in elastic search type as string and index as not_analysed.

while searching for the values of those fields some time I need index as analysed also.

So is it possible to do multiple mapping in elastic search for one single index.

In my case one for index as not_analysed and second one for index as analysed.

Thanks Mukesh Raghuwanshi

Its not clear what you're trying to achieve? If you need text search, you probably need analyzers. Why not just set the needed one? — Slam, Aug 11 '15 at 10:21

Yes of course, you can use multi-field for exactly this purpose. Your field needs to be declared as follows in your mapping type:

{
  "your_type" : {
    "properties" : {
      "your_field" : {                   <-- this is the analyzed version of the field
        "type" : "string",
        "index" : "analyzed",
        "fields" : {
          "raw" : {                      <-- this is the not_analyzed sub-field
            "type" : "string", 
            "index" : "not_analyzed"
          }
        }
      }
    }
  }
}
