It seems that if you disable the _source when first creating the index, and subsequent updates to the mapping will fail with Merge failed with failures {[Cannot update enabled setting for [_source]]}, even if the update doesn't change _source at all.
Tested on ES 2.1

}All good, but if we try to update the mapping:
PUT /data/_mapping/data
{
"properties": {
"long": {
"type": "long"
}
}
}{
"error": {
"root_cause": [
{
"type": "merge_mapping_exception",
"reason": "Merge failed with failures {[Cannot update enabled setting for [_source]]}"
}
],
"type": "merge_mapping_exception",
"reason": "Merge failed with failures {[Cannot update enabled setting for [_source]]}"
},
"status": 400
}If you repeat the process without touching _source, everything works as expected:
DELETE /data
PUT /data
{
"mappings": {
"data": {
"properties": {
"float": {
"type": "float"
},
"double": {
"type": "double"
}
}
}
}
}
GET /data/_mapping
PUT /data/_mapping/data
{
"properties": {
"long": {
"type": "long"
}
}
}
GET /data/_mapping{
"data": {
"mappings": {
"data": {

"double": {
"type": "double"
},
"float": {
"type": "float"
},
"long": {
"type": "long"
}
}
}
}
}
}And it doesn't seem to matter if you enable or disable _source, both cases will cause the error. It seems to be the presence of specifying _source that breaks future updates.
