Spring Data Elasticsearch's @Field annotation not working

I could finally replicate and solve the problem. The fact is that I was using ElasticTemplate for indexing and searching docs instead of repositories, because my business logic got a more complicated (use of aggregations, etc.).

After that, I removed the unused OperationDocumentRespository. It seems that the repository is needed for the type mapping being posted to ES server on startup. I thought having the @Document class should be enough, but it isn't.

So we have two options here:

• Keep the OperationDocumentRepository

• Add this line to the app startup:

  elasticsearchTemplate.putMapping(OperationDocument.class);
  

I tried to replicate issue using spring data elasticsearch sample application but as per your configuration i am getting the desired results as mentioned above.

Entire code is committed to project here --> link

Look at the TestCase which generate index and apply mapping when spring context loaded--> link

Here is mapping generated by TestCase :

  {
  "operations" : {
    "aliases" : { },
    "mappings" : {
      "operation" : {
        "properties" : {
          "dateUp" : {
            "type" : "date",
            "store" : true,
            "format" : "dd.MM.yyyy hh:mm"
          },
          "operationName" : {
            "type" : "string",
            "store" : true,
            "analyzer" : "standard"
          },
          "sectors" : {
            "type" : "nested"
          },
          "someTransientData" : {
            "type" : "string",
            "index" : "not_analyzed"
          }
        }
      }
    },
    "settings" : {
      "index" : {
        "refresh_interval" : "1s",
        "number_of_shards" : "5",
        "store" : {
          "type" : "fs"
        },
        "creation_date" : "1428677234773",
        "number_of_replicas" : "1",
        "version" : {
          "created" : "1040499"
        },
        "uuid" : "-djzLu-IQ0CBs-M6R0-R6Q"
      }
    },
    "warmers" : { }
  }
}

Can you create similar example with spring boot using https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-boot/tree/master/spring-boot-samples/spring-boot-sample-data-elasticsearch

and commit on public share?
