ES|QL Data Federation

Required authorization

Index privileges manage

Path parameters

name union string | string[] optional

A comma-separated list of dataset names or wildcard patterns. Omit to return all datasets.

Leave it out to use /_query/dataset.

Query parameters

master_timeout string · default: 30s

Period to wait for a connection to the master node.

Response

application/json
datasets object[] required

The matching datasets.

name string required

The dataset name.

data_source string required

The name of the referenced data source.

resource string required

The URI that identifies the data to read, resolved against the referenced data source. It can include glob patterns, for example a recursive pattern that matches Parquet files under s3://logs-bucket/access.

description string

A free-text description.

settings map string to object

Format- and parsing-specific settings that configure how the resource is read. Common keys include format and partition_detection. Additional keys depend on the format reader; compression can be inferred from the resource URI.

mappings object

The user-declared mapping on the dataset definition.

dynamic enum · default: true

The policy for columns that are not declared in properties. true (the default) infers undeclared columns and overlays the declarations; false makes the declaration the entire schema, so undeclared columns are not queryable.

Values: true false
properties map string to object

The per-column declarations, keyed by logical column name.

<string> object
type string required

The declared column type.

rename_from string

The underlying file column that this logical column reads from. This is a read-path rename: the physical column becomes this single logical column. Responses always use rename_from. path, the former name for this field, is still accepted in requests and means the same thing.

format string

The date-parse pattern for a declared date column, mirroring the index date-field format.

_id object

The _id meta-field configuration, sourcing the document identity from a column.

path string required

The name of the column that provides the document identity.
