_meta field
edit_meta field
editA mapping type can have custom meta data associated with it. These are not used at all by Elasticsearch, but can be used to store application-specific metadata, such as the class that a document belongs to:
response = client.indices.create(
index: 'my-index-000001',
body: {
mappings: {
_meta: {
class: 'MyApp::User',
version: {
min: '1.0',
max: '1.3'
}
}
}
}
)
puts response
PUT my-index-000001
{
"mappings": {
"_meta": {
"class": "MyApp::User",
"version": {
"min": "1.0",
"max": "1.3"
}
}
}
}

The _meta field can be updated on an existing type using the
update mapping API:
response = client.indices.put_mapping(
index: 'my-index-000001',
body: {
_meta: {
class: 'MyApp2::User3',
version: {
min: '1.3',
max: '1.5'
}
}
}
)
puts response
PUT my-index-000001/_mapping
{
"_meta": {
"class": "MyApp2::User3",
"version": {
"min": "1.3",
"max": "1.5"
}
}
}
