Is there a way i can disable TypeHints in the Document Generated for Spring Data ElasticSearch. https://docs.spring.io/spring-data/elasticsearch/docs/current/reference/html/#elasticsearch.mapping.meta-model.rules

I have the Mapping Definition for my elastic Index (7.X) Dynamic Mapping Set to Strict and when i am trying to Index a Document it was created a Field _class in the Elastic Document which is failing the Document Insertion into the ElasticSearch index 7.X with Below Error

Elasticsearch exception [type=strict_dynamic_mapping_exception, reason=mapping set to strict, dynamic introduction of [_class] within [_doc] is not allowed]

Currently this is not possible. You can create an issue in Jira to have this implemented as a new feature, but beware that if type hints are not written, you wont be able to properly read collection-like values of generics.

For example if you have two classes Foo and Bar and in an entity you have a property of type List<Object> which contains Foos and Bars you won't be able to read back such an entity from Elasticsearch, because the type information of the objects would be lost.
