Text fields can optionally index their content in multiple ways to speed up
phrase or prefix queries, implemented via named subfields with specialised
analysis chains. As these subfields need to be searchable, they have their
own FieldMappers and MappedFieldTypes; unfortunately, this means that
they can end up being returned in calls to the
field_caps
endpoint, wherereally they are implementation details and should be hidden from users.
This commit adds a
fieldCaps()
method directly to MappedFieldType,called by the field capabilities action. Field types that should be hidden
from
field_caps
can returnnull
from this method, and will be excludedfrom the response.
Fixes #63446
