Disable dynamic mapping creation for only specific indexes on elasticsearch?

Question

I\'m trying to disable dynamic mapping creation for only specific indexes, not for all. For some reason I can\'t put default mapping with \'dynamic\' : \'false\'. S

You cannot disable dynamic mapping in ES 7 anymore, what you can do if you have completely unstructured data is to disable completely the mapping for the index like this:

curl -X PUT "localhost:9200/my_index?pretty" -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -d'
{
  "mappings": {
    "enabled": false 
  }
}
'

if you are using python you can do this:

from elasticsearch import Elasticsearch

# Connect to the elastic cluster
es=Elasticsearch([{'host':'localhost','port':9200}])

request_body = {
        "mappings": {
                 "enabled": False
    }
}
es.indices.create(index = 'my_index', body = request_body)
