After my uproarious success fixing node.js, I was ready to fix something else. I checked node.js’s open issues, but I didn’t see any that I’d be able to jump on. So I turned my attention elsewhere. Another technology I have a fair amount of experience with is Elasticsearch – I wrote the Juttle Elastic Adapter, after all.
I moseyed on over to the Elasticsearch issues list, where I found issue 15381: Config index.mapper.dynamic:false is not honored. I didn’t know what that meant, but the issue had the “adoptme” and “low-hanging fruit” labels, so it seemed like a good place to start contributing to Elasticsearch.
