Hi

I'm on elasticsearch 6.4.2 using elasticsearch\_dsl 6.2.1 with Python.  
if I define a field like this:

```
instance = Text(fields={'raw': Keyword()})

```

I'll get this mapping:

```
      "instance" : {
        "type" : "text",
        "fields" : {
          "raw" : {
            "type" : "keyword"
          }
        }
      },

```

Is it possible to add the mapping parameter ignore\_above to the mapping using elasticsearch\_dsl?
