=== Add default field API
++++
<titleabbrev>Add default field</titleabbrev>
++++
experimental[] In {es} 7.0 and later, some query types, such as Simple Query String, have a limit to the number of fields they can query against.
To configure the cap in {es}, set the `indices.query.bool.max_clause_count` cluster setting, which is 1024 by default.
For indices with more fields than the cap, add the `index.query.default_field` index setting to inform {es} which
fields to use by default when no field is specified for a query. Use the add default field API to add the `index.query.default_field` setting to an {es} index.
[[upgrade-assistant-api-default-field-request]]
==== Request
To add the `index.query.default_field` setting to an {es} index, submit a POST request to `/api/upgrade_assistant/add_query_default_field/<index>`:
[source,js]
--------------------------------------------------
GET /api/upgrade_assistant/add_query_default_field/myIndex
{
"fieldTypes": ["text", "keyword"], <1>
"otherFields": ["myField.*"] <2>
}
--------------------------------------------------
// KIBANA
<1> A required array of {es} field types that generate the list of fields.
<2> An optional array of additional field names, dot-delimited.
To add the `index.query.default_field` index setting to the specified index, {kib} generates an array of all fields from the index mapping.
The fields contain the types specified in `fieldTypes`. {kib} appends any other fields specified in `otherFields` to the array of default fields.
[[upgrade-assistant-api-default-field-response-codes]]
==== Response codes
`200`::
Indicates a successful call.
`400`::
Indicates that the index already has the `index.query.default_field` setting. No changes are made to the index.
[[upgrade-assistant-api-default-field-response-body]]
==== Response body
The response body contains a JSON structure, similar to the following:
[source,js]
--------------------------------------------------
{
"acknowledged": true
}
--------------------------------------------------
[[upgrade-assistant-api-default-field-example]]
==== Example
Your index contains following mappings:
[source,js]
--------------------------------------------------
GET /myIndex/_mappings
{
"myIndex": {
"mappings": {
"properties": {
"field1": { "type": "text" },
"field2": { "type": "float" },
"nestedfield": {
"properties": {
"field3": { "type": "keyword" },
"field4": { "type": "long" },
}
}
}
}
}
}
--------------------------------------------------
// CONSOLE
Make the following request to {kib}:
[source,js]
--------------------------------------------------
GET /api/upgrade_assistant/add_query_default_field/myIndex
{
"fieldTypes": ["text", "long"],
"otherFields": ["field2"]
}
--------------------------------------------------
// KIBANA
The API returns the following:
[source,js]
--------------------------------------------------
GET /myIndex/_settings?flat_settings=true
{
"myIndex": {
"settings": {
"index.query.default_field": [
"field1",
"nestedfield.field4",
"field2",
]
}
}
}
--------------------------------------------------
// CONSOLE
{kib} generates the `field1` and `nestedfield.field4` values based on the specified `fieldTypes`, then appends the `otherFields` to the array.
