LI82734: REQUEST_METHOD FIELD INCORRECTLY MAPPED AS 'TEXT' INSTEAD OF 'KEYWORD'

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Expected Behaviour
  In previous APIC versions the mapping for request_method
  was          "request_method": {
             "type": "keyword"
           },
  Among other things this enables terms aggregations on the
  request method to be performed.
  
  Current Behaviour
  In 10.0.5.0 the new template maps the field as text
         "request_method": {
           "type": "text"
         },
  
  This results in messages like this when trying to query say the
  top 5 request methods
  
  Text fields are not optimised for operations that require
  per-document field data like aggregations and sorting, so these
  operations are disabled by default.
  

Local fix

Problem summary

• The request_method field was incorrectly mapped in APIC 10.0.5.0
  as 'text' instead of 'keyword'. This differs from previous APIC
  releases and could have performance implications.
  
  This fix changes the field mapping back to 'keyword'. The change
  will happen for all new indexes created after applying this fix.
  The data will be a mix of both field mappings until all older
  indexes have been deleted as per the retention and rollover
  settings.
  

Problem conclusion

• Fix targeted at APIC 10.0.5.1
  

Temporary fix
