The enabled attribute applies to various ElasticSearch specific/created fields such as _index and _size. User-supplied fields do not have an “enabled” attribute.

Store means the data is stored by Lucene will return this data if asked. Stored fields are not necessarily searchable. By default, fields are not stored, but full source is. Since you want the defaults (which makes sense), simply do not set the store attribute.

The index attribute is used for searching. Only indexed fields can be searched. The reason for the differentiation is that indexed fields are transformed during analysis, so you cannot retrieve the original data if it is required.

Yes, Elastic search can have a schema. A schema is a description of one or more fields that describes the document type and how to handle the different fields of a document. The schema in Elasticsearch is a mapping that describes the fields in the JSON documents along with their data type, as well as how they should be indexed in the Lucene indexes that lie under the hood. Because of this, in Elasticsearch terms, we usually call this schema a “mapping”.

Elasticsearch has the ability to be schema-less, which means that documents can be indexed without explicitly providing a schema. If you do not specify a mapping, Elasticsearch will by default generate one dynamically when detecting new fields in documents during indexing.
