Watson Discovery

Hi,

I am uploading text documents and supply metadata (as JSON) with each document.
My expectation is that this metadata (similar to  uploading JSON files) results in fields in the index .

Is that assumption correct ? 
Or should I revert back to JSON for the entire document ?
To be clear, right now I have .txt files + JSON for the metadata (like author, date, keywords....)

In Java (excerpt): 

Thanks again

Ok, I have misunderstood the mapping.
The metadata is not available as a field in the manage fields page.
But they can used in facets: they get the prefix : metadata
And you can also enrich the metadata fields

AddDocumentOptions options = new AddDocumentOptions.Builder()

.projectId(<projecitd>)

.collectionId(<collectionoid)

.file(txtFile)

.filename(txtFile.getName())

.metadata(jsonMetaData)

.fileContentType(HttpMediaType.TEXT_PLAIN)

.build();

Thanks again
