Mapper plugins
editMapper plugins
editMapper plugins allow new field data types to be added to Elasticsearch.
Core mapper plugins
editThe core mapper plugins are:
- Mapper size plugin
-
The mapper-size plugin provides the
_size
metadata field which, when enabled, indexes the size in bytes of the original_source
field. - Mapper murmur3 plugin
-
The mapper-murmur3 plugin allows hashes to be computed at index-time and stored
in the index for later use with the
cardinality
aggregation. - Mapper annotated text plugin
- The annotated text plugin provides the ability to index text that is a combination of free-text and special markup that is typically used to identify items of interest such as people or organisations (see NER or Named Entity Recognition tools).
