Update Mapping of existing Index in Elasticsearch

Question

I am totally new to elastic search. So please forgive me if this is a stupid Question and my Questions might have been answered somewhere else already but I couldn't find it. I want to use Elastic Search as a search engine for PDF'S and docx's in my network. I used fscrawler to ingest the PDF's to elastic search. Since the documents I want to ingest are in several languages I wanted to use n-graming for stemming. To do so I wanted to update my mapping like this

PUT test/_mappings/_all
{
"mappings": {
    "title": {
      "properties": {
        "title": {
          "type": "text",
          "fields": {
            "de": {
              "type":     "string",
              "analyzer": "german"
            },
            "en": {
              "type":     "string",
              "analyzer": "english"
            },
             "general": { 
              "type":     "string",
              "analyzer": "trigrams"
          }
        }
      }
    }
  }
}
}

And now I get this Errormessage

{ "error": { "root_cause": [ { "type": "mapper_parsing_exception", "reason": "Root mapping definition has unsupported parameters: [mappings : {title={properties={title={type=text, fields={de={type=string, analyzer=german}, en={type=string, analyzer=english}, general={type=string, analyzer=trigrams}}}}}}]" } ], "type": "mapper_parsing_exception", "reason": "Root mapping definition has unsupported parameters: [mappings : {title={properties={title={type=text, fields={de={type=string, analyzer=german}, en={type=string, analyzer=english}, general={type=string, analyzer=trigrams}}}}}}]"
}, "status": 400 }

Do you have any idea how i can fix this? Or do you have an idea how I can ingest the files with the right mapping without using fscrawler?

Answer 1

those are my settings

    {
  "test": {
    "settings": {
      "index": {
        "mapping": {
          "total_fields": {
            "limit": "2000"
          }
        },
        "number_of_shards": "5",
        "provided_name": "test",
        "creation_date": "1542031632596",
        "analysis": {
          "filter": {
            "trigrams_filter": {
              "type": "ngram",
              "min_gram": "3",
              "max_gram": "3"
            }
          },
          "analyzer": {
            "fscrawler_path": {
              "tokenizer": "fscrawler_path"
            },
            "trigrams": {
              "filter": [
                "lowercase",
                "trigrams_filter"
              ],
              "type": "custom",
              "tokenizer": "standard"
            }
          },
          "tokenizer": {
            "fscrawler_path": {
              "type": "path_hierarchy"
            }
          }
        },

        }
      }
    }
  }
}
