dynamic-field-source

This field has the following two properties:

Property	Required	Default	Description
source	Yes		Source for generating Elasticsearch's value.
failure-strategy	No	USE_DIGEST	What to do if Aerospike can’t generate the value using the specified source. While not all sources are compatible with this configuration parameter, you can still generate the value using those sources.

Source values

The source field accepts the following values:

Value	Description	Can configure failure-strategy
none	The destination system will auto-generate the value or use null.	No
system-default	The connector sets a different default source. In this case, it is set to source .	No
namespace	Use the record’s namespace as Elasticsearch's value.	No
set	Use the record’s set name as Elasticsearch's value.	Yes
digest	Use the record’s digest as Elasticsearch's value.	No
user-key	Use the record’s user-key as Elasticsearch's value.	Yes
bin-value	Use the record’s bin value of the given bin name as Elasticsearch's value.	Yes
static	Use a static value as Elasticsearch's value.	No

Failure Strategy values

While not all sources are compatible with this configuration parameter, you can still generate the value using those sources.

The failure-strategy field accepts the following values:

Value	Description	Details
USE_DIGEST	Use the record’s digest as Elasticsearch's value.	This value is always available.
FAIL	Send the temporary error to XDR so that it will retry the record.
IGNORE	Send the permanent error to XDR so that it will not retry the record.	In this situation, the record is never shipped to the destination system.
