Mapper Attachments Type for Elasticsearch
=========================================
[[mapper-attachments]]
=== Mapper Attachments Plugin

The mapper attachments plugin lets Elasticsearch index file attachments in common formats (such as PPT, XLS, PDF) using the Apache text extraction library [Tika](http://lucene.apache.org/tika/).
The mapper attachments plugin lets Elasticsearch index file attachments in common formats (such as PPT, XLS, PDF)
using the Apache text extraction library http://lucene.apache.org/tika/[Tika].

In practice, the plugin adds the `attachment` type when mapping properties so that documents can be populated with file attachment contents (encoded as `base64`).

Installation
------------
[[mapper-attachments-install]]
[float]
==== Installation

In order to install the plugin, run:
This plugin can be installed using the plugin manager:

```sh
bin/plugin install mapper-attachments
```
[source,sh]
----------------------------------------------------------------
sudo bin/plugin install mapper-attachments
----------------------------------------------------------------

Hello, world
------------
The plugin must be installed on every node in the cluster, and each node must
be restarted after installation.

[[mapper-attachments-remove]]
[float]
==== Removal

The plugin can be removed with the following command:

[source,sh]
----------------------------------------------------------------
sudo bin/plugin remove mapper-attachments
----------------------------------------------------------------

The node must be stopped before removing the plugin.

[[mapper-attachments-helloworld]]
==== Hello, world

Create a property mapping using the new type `attachment`:

```javascript
[source,js]
--------------------------
POST /trying-out-mapper-attachments
{
"mappings": {
"person": {
"properties": {
"cv": { "type": "attachment" }
}}}}
```
--------------------------
// AUTOSENSE

Index a new document populated with a `base64`-encoded attachment:

```javascript
[source,js]
--------------------------
POST /trying-out-mapper-attachments/person/1
{
"cv": "e1xydGYxXGFuc2kNCkxvcmVtIGlwc3VtIGRvbG9yIHNpdCBhbWV0DQpccGFyIH0="
}
```
--------------------------
// AUTOSENSE

Search for the document using words in the attachment:

```javascript
[source,js]
--------------------------
POST /trying-out-mapper-attachments/person/_search
{
"query": {
"query_string": {
"query": "ipsum"
}}}
```
--------------------------
// AUTOSENSE

If you get a hit for your indexed document, the plugin should be installed and working.

Usage
------------------------
[[mapper-attachments-usage]]
==== Usage

Using the attachment type is simple, in your mapping JSON, simply set a certain JSON element as attachment, for example:

```javascript

```javascript
[source,js]
--------------------------
PUT /test/person/1
{
"my_attachment" : "... base64 encoded attachment ..."
}
```

In the above example, the actual content indexed is mapped under `fields` name `content`, and we decide not to index it, so
it will only be available in the `_all` field. The other fields map to their respective metadata names, but there is no
need to specify the `type` (like `string` or `date`) since it is already known.

Copy To feature

Indexed Characters
------------------
[[mapper-attachments-indexed-characters]]
==== Indexed Characters

By default, `100000` characters are extracted when indexing the content. This default value can be changed by setting
the `index.mapping.attachment.indexed_chars` setting. It can also be provided on a per document indexed using the
`_indexed_chars` parameter. `-1` can be set to extract all text, but note that all the text needs to be allowed to be
represented in memory:

```
[source,js]
--------------------------
PUT /test/person/1
{
"my_attachment" : {
"_indexed_chars" : -1,
"_content" : "... base64 encoded attachment ..."
}
}
```

Metadata parsing error handling
-------------------------------
[[mapper-attachments-error-handling]]
==== Metadata parsing error handling

While extracting metadata content, errors could happen for example when parsing dates.
Parsing errors are ignored so your document is indexed.

You can disable this feature by setting the `index.mapping.attachment.ignore_errors` setting to `false`.

Language Detection
------------------
[[mapper-attachments-language-detection]]
==== Language Detection

By default, language detection is disabled (`false`) as it could come with a cost.
This default value can be changed by setting the `index.mapping.attachment.detect_language` setting.
It can also be provided on a per document indexed using the `_detect_language` parameter.

Note that you can force language using `_language` field when sending your actual document:

```javascript
[source,js]
--------------------------
{
"my_attachment" : {
"_language" : "en",
"_content" : "... base64 encoded attachment ..."
}
}
```

If you want to run some tests within your IDE, you can use `StandaloneRunner` class.
It accepts arguments:

* `BASE64` encoded binary
