_type field
edit_type
field
editEach document indexed is associated with a _type
(see
Mapping Types) and an _id
. The _type
field is
indexed in order to make searching by type name fast.
The value of the _type
field is accessible in queries, aggregations,
scripts, and when sorting:
# Example documents PUT my_index/type_1/1 { "text": "Document with type 1" } PUT my_index/type_2/2 { "text": "Document with type 2" } GET my_index/_search/type_* { "query": { "terms": { "_type": [ "type_1", "type_2" ] } }, "aggs": { "types": { "terms": { "field": "_type", "size": 10 } } }, "sort": [ { "_type": { "order": "desc" } } ], "script_fields": { "type": { "script": "doc['_type']" } } }
