Querying or accessing metadataedit
If you need to query on metadata fields, use the attachment field name dot the metadata field. For example:
PUT /test PUT /test/person/_mapping { "person": { "properties": { "file": { "type": "attachment", "fields": { "content_type": { "type": "text", "store": true } } } } } } PUT /test/person/1?refresh=true { "file": "IkdvZCBTYXZlIHRoZSBRdWVlbiIgKGFsdGVybmF0aXZlbHkgIkdvZCBTYXZlIHRoZSBLaW5nIg==" } GET /test/person/_search { "stored_fields": [ "file.content_type" ], "query": { "match": { "file.content_type": "text plain" } } }
Will give you:
{ "took": 2, "timed_out": false, "_shards": { "total": 5, "successful": 5, "failed": 0 }, "hits": { "total": 1, "max_score": 0.53484553, "hits": [ { "_index": "test", "_type": "person", "_id": "1", "_score": 0.53484553, "fields": { "file.content_type": [ "text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1" ] } } ] } }
