WARNING: Version 2.1 of Elasticsearch has passed its EOL date.
This documentation is no longer being maintained and may be removed. If you are running this version, we strongly advise you to upgrade. For the latest information, see the current release documentation.
doc_values
editdoc_values
editMost fields are indexed by default, which makes them searchable. The inverted index allows queries to look up the search term in unique sorted list of terms, and from that immediately have access to the list of documents that contain the term.
Sorting, aggregations, and access to field values in scripts requires a different data access pattern. Instead of looking up the term and finding documents, we need to be able to look up the document and find the terms that it has in a field.
Doc values are the on-disk data structure, built at document index time, which
makes this data access pattern possible. They store the same values as the
_source
but in a column-oriented fashion that is way more efficient for
sorting and aggregations. Doc values are supported on almost all field types,
with the notable exception of analyzed
string fields.
All fields which support doc values have them enabled by default. If you are sure that you don’t need to sort or aggregate on a field, or access the field value from a script, you can disable doc values in order to save disk space:
PUT my_index { "mappings": { "my_type": { "properties": { "status_code": { "type": "string", "index": "not_analyzed" }, "session_id": { "type": "string", "index": "not_analyzed", "doc_values": false } } } } }

The doc_values
setting is allowed to have different settings for fields
of the same name in the same index. It can be disabled (set to false
) on
existing fields using the PUT mapping API.
