Package org.elasticsearch.index.mapper

Class FieldAliasMapper

java.lang.Object

org.elasticsearch.index.mapper.Mapper

org.elasticsearch.index.mapper.FieldAliasMapper

All Implemented Interfaces:

java.lang.Iterable<Mapper>, ToXContent, ToXContentFragment

public final class FieldAliasMapper
extends Mapper

A mapper for field aliases. A field alias has no concrete field mappings of its own, but instead points to another field by its path. Once defined, an alias can be used in place of the concrete field name in search requests.
