PUT /user/_mapping/email

{
"mappings": {
"_doc": {
"properties": {
"email": {
"type": "text",
"fields": {
"my_analyzer": {
"email": "text",
"analyzer": "my_analyzer"
}
}
}
}
}
}
}

I got an error stating "root_cause":

{
"error": {
"root_cause": [
{
"type": "mapper_parsing_exception",
"reason": "Root mapping definition has unsupported parameters: [mappings : {_doc={properties={email={type=text, fields={my_analyzer={email=text, analyzer=my_analyzer}}}}}}]"
}
],
"type": "mapper_parsing_exception",
"reason": "Root mapping definition has unsupported parameters: [mappings : {_doc={properties={email={type=text, fields={my_analyzer={email=text, analyzer=my_analyzer}}}}}}]"
},
"status": 400
}

The PUT mapping API doesn't need the root mappings element, you should put properties directly at the root of the json document.

Please format your code, logs or configuration files using </> icon as explained in this guide and not the citation button. It will make your post more readable.

Or use markdown style like:

```

There's a live preview panel for exactly this reasons.
