doc_values

By default, OpenSearch indexes most fields for search purposes. The doc_values parameter enables document-to-term lookups for operations such as sorting, aggregations, and scripting.

The doc_values parameter accepts the following options.

The doc_values parameter is not supported for use in text fields.

Example: Creating an index with doc_values enabled and disabled

The following example request creates an index with doc_values enabled for one field and disabled for another:

PUT my-index-001
{
  "mappings": {
    "properties": {
      "status_code": { 
        "type": "keyword"
      },
      "session_id": { 
        "type": "keyword",
        "doc_values": false
      }
    }
  }
}
