nest - Programmatic PUT mapping for a type isn't being used? -

i've defined programmatic mapping type following example in fluent api unit test (fluentmappingfullexampletests) so:

_client.map<sometype>(m => m             .type("mytype")             ... 

i add instance of sometype index via call like

_client.index<sometype>(instance) 

however, when go searching instance, don't find instances of 'mytype'; instead, there's instance of 'sometype', , new type mapping has been created 'sometype'. have expected put mapping honored when performed insertion.

am not using put mappings way should used? unfortunately, unit test doesn't demonstrate round-tripping, i'm unsure if there's else should doing.

edit: bears mentioning i'm trying achieve 100% programmatic mapping, here; no next attributes on type.

i able handle use case in example:

//request url: http://localhost:9200/indexname var indicesoperationresponse = client.createindex(indexname);  //request url: http://localhost:9200/indexname/document2/_mapping var response = client.map<document>(m => m     .type("document2")     .properties(p => p.string(s => s.name(n => n.name).index(fieldindexoption.notanalyzed))));  //request url: http://localhost:9200/indexname/document2/1 client.index(new document { id = 1, name = "test"});  client.refresh();  //request url: http://localhost:9200/indexname/document2/_search var searchresponse = client.search<document>(s => s.query(q => q.matchall())); 

key thing mark document class elastictype attribute:

[elastictype(name = "document2")] public class document {     public int id { get; set; }     public string name { get; set; } } 

hope helps you.

update

your comment makes sense. instead of using elastictype can change type name inference elasticclient.

var uri = new uri("http://localhost:9200"); var settings = new connectionsettings(uri)     .setdefaultindex(indexname)     .mapdefaulttypenames(d => d.add(typeof(document), "document2"))  var client = new elasticclient(settings); 

so can remove attribute document class

public class document {     public int id { get; set; }     public string name { get; set; } } 

we don't need specify type alias in mapping:

var response = client.map<document>(m => m     .properties(p => p.string(s => s.name(n => n.name).index(fieldindexoption.notanalyzed))));
