How to do custom mapping using mongo connector with elasticsearch - mongodb

Question

I wanna connect mongodb and elasticsearch. I used mongo connector to connect them. I followed instruction from below link to setup==>
http://vi3k6i5.blogspot.in/2014/12/using-elastic-search-with-mongodb.html
I am able to connect mongodb and elasticsearch. But by default mongo connector created indices in elasticsearch for all databases of mongodb.
I want to create only one index for my one database and I want to insert only selected field of documents. for example: in mongo shell==>
use hotels
db.restaurants.insert(
{
"address" : {
"street" : "2 Avenue",
"zipcode" : "10075",
"building" : "1480",
"coord" : [ -73.9557413, 40.7720266 ],
},
"borough" : "Manhattan",
"cuisine" : "Italian",
"grades" : [
{
"date" : ISODate("2014-10-01T00:00:00Z"),
"grade" : "A",
"score" : 11
},
{
"date" : ISODate("2014-01-16T00:00:00Z"),
"grade" : "B",
"score" : 17
}
],
"name" : "Vella",
"restaurant_id" : "41704620"
}
)
This will create database hotels and collection restaurants. Now I want to create index and I want to put only address field in elasticsearch for that index.
Below are the steps what I tried but thats not working :
First I start mongo connector like below :
Imomadmins-MacBook-Pro:~ jayant$ mongo-connector -m localhost:27017 -t localhost:9200 -d elastic_doc_manager --oplog-ts oplogstatus.txt
Logging to mongo-connector.log.
Then from new shell tab, I made command like :
curl -XPUT 'http://localhost:9200/hotels.restaurants/'
curl -XPUT "http://localhost:9200/hotels.restaurants/string/_mapping" - d'{
"string": {
"properties" : {
"address" : {"type" : "string"}
}
}
}'
But only index is created in elasticsearch named as hotels.restaurants. I can't see any document for index hotels.restaurants.
Please suggest me how to add document for hotels.restaurants

Well I got an answer to my question, while starting mongo connector we can specify collection name and the list of fields we are interested in. Please check below command ==>
$ mongo-connector -m localhost:27017 -t localhost:9200 -d elastic_doc_manager --oplog-ts oplogstatus.txt --namespace-set hotels.restaurants --fields address,grades,name
