I have a mapping like this, and i have already added data and indexed.  
{"mappints":{  
"properties": {  
"type": "object",  
"properties": {  
"occupation": {  
"type": "text"  
},  
"skill": {  
"type": "text",  
}  
}}

And right now I want to add suggester like this:

{"mappints":{  
"properties": {  
"type": "object",  
"properties": {  
"occupation": {  
"type": "text"  
},  
"skill": {  
"type": "text",  
},  
"suggest": {  
"type": "completion"  
}  
}}

And the I re indexed all the data, but suggest have no any data, I know the official docs gave info, that you need to populate your data, but when I add the suggest into attribute, like this.  
{"mappints":{  
"properties": {  
"type": "object",  
"properties": {  
"occupation": {  
"type": "text",  
"fields": {  
"raw": {  
"type": "keyword",  
"ignore\_above": 256  
},  
"suggest": {  
"type": "completion"  
}  
},  
"skill": {  
"type": "text",  
"fields": {  
"raw": {  
"type": "keyword",  
"ignore\_above": 256  
},  
"suggest": {  
"type": "completion"  
}  
}  
}}

like this, and indexed, I do not populate any data, you could search data inside that?

Can you explain why?

what is the different between this two???  
(coz official docment is not clear)
