Mapper plugins allow new field datatypes to be added to Elasticsearch.
The core mapper plugins are:
- [mapper-size]
-
The mapper-size plugin provides the
_size
meta field which, when enabled, indexes the size in bytes of the original {ref}/mapping-source-field.html[_source
] field. - [mapper-murmur3]
-
The mapper-murmur3 plugin allows hashes to be computed at index-time and stored in the index for later use with the
cardinality
aggregation.
