_id field
edit_id
field
editEach document has an _id
that uniquely identifies it, which is indexed
so that documents can be looked up either with the GET API or the
ids
query. The _id
can either be assigned at
indexing time, or a unique _id
can be generated by Elasticsearch. This field is not
configurable in the mappings.
The value of the _id
field is accessible in queries such as term
,
terms
, match
, and query_string
.
