How to specify index.mapping.ignore_malformed setting using NEST in ElasticSearch

Question

Is it possible to specify index.mapping.ignore_malformed setting using ElasticSearch NEST client? I am not able to find any docs or visible api methods to access this setting.

Answer 1

Index settings can be specified using .Settings() . The client has methods for known extensions, and any other settings can be specified using .Setting(string setting, object value)

var client = new ElasticClient();

client.CreateIndex("my_index", c => c
    .Settings(s => s
        .Setting("index.mapping.ignore_malformed", true)
    )
);

You can also specify ignore_malformed on a per field basis too.
