Hi. A newbie question. Can I add some kind of versioning for the mapping itself and not the document. So, it is not a property or attribute of the document being indexed, but the mapping itself. So, when I request the mapping for an index as follows: /\/\_mapping it brings that property. I could add it under the "properties", but I prefer not, so I know it is not document related. Appreciate your help ---
