How can one determine if a field exists?

In Elasticsearch, you can use the exists query to determine if a field exists. Here is an example query:

GET /your_index/_search
{
  "query": {
    "bool": {
      "must": [
        {
          "exists": {
            "field": "your_field"
          }
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

In the above query, you need to replace “your_index” with your index name and “your_field” with the name of the field you want to check for existence. If the field exists, it will return the document containing that field.
