Source (_source) input parameter has confusing type

[tmewett]

The _source input parameter is encoded in the API as type []string.

This is consistent with API docs like update document which have it as type List - but not with their description which has "Default is true" and implies it is a Boolean.

In the end I had to specify true as []string{"true"}, which doesn't seem very ergonomic. Not to mention that it's unclear what would happen if I had a field called "true".

Thank you 🙇‍♂️

Hey there, I want to solve this issue if it is actual. But this will affect a lot of APIs, so I need more time to refactor and write tests for each of them. If solution is required, please assign this issue to me

I am also interested in solving this issue. @zethuman, I can help you with this problem. Would you be interested in teaming up?

[wbeckler]

Both of you feel free to collaborate and work on this. Also, please identify whether this will break any working code that relies on the old setup. If so, we would want to merge this into the 3.x line.

Can we close this issue by merge [#285]?

[dblock]

Yep, closing.
