Utility function to remove 'type' from bulk load files
Types are being removed from Elasticsearch. This little function aims to help remove "_type" fields from bulk newline-delimited JSON files. See Details.
type_remover(file)
file |
(character) a file path, required |
Looks for any lines that have an "index" key, then drops any "_type" keys in the hash given by the "index" key.
You can of course manually modify these files as an alternative, in a text editor or with command line tools like sed, etc.
