"mappings": {
"user": {

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.
