在Hibernate搜索中覆盖Elasticsearch _type

Question

I was wondering if it is possible to set the _type field on the Elasticsearch document using an annotation on the entity class. I am currently using hibernate-search-orm and hibernate-elasticsearch version 5.8.2.Final .

Adding the @Indexed(name="my-index-name") annotation allows me to target a specific index. However, the document type is always the Class name. If the project is ever organized in a different way the type would not match the class.

Answer 1

There's no way to do what you want at the moment.

If you change the organization of your project (eg moving packages around or changing a class name), you will have to reindex your data.

Using the class name is a good way to be sure we won't have conflicts in the names.

I will add it to the things we have to discuss for Search 6 and see if we want to act on this.
