| Type | Description | Use Case |
|---|---|---|
| text | Analyzed field for full-text search. Tokenized, stemmed | Searchable content (descriptions, titles) |
| keyword | Exact value field. Not analyzed | Filtering, sorting, aggregations (IDs, categories, tags) |
| integer/long | Whole numbers | Counters, IDs, quantities |
| float/double | Decimal numbers | Prices, measurements, scores |
| date | Timestamps and dates | Created/updated times, events |
| boolean | true/false values | Flags, status indicators |
| object | Nested JSON objects (flattened) | Structured data without array relationships |
| nested | Maintains object relationships in arrays | Complex nested structures |
| geo_point | Latitude/longitude coordinates | Location data, mapping |

Best Practices
- Use multi-fields when you need both search (
text) and aggregation (keyword) capabilities - Choose appropriate numeric types based on value ranges and precision needs
