Hello - I have a es mapping that looks like this for a "multi\_field" type:

"Name": {  
"type": "multi\_field",  
"path" : "just\_name",  
"fields" : {  
"Name" : {"store" : "no","type" : "string"},  
"Name\_TC": {"type": "token\_count","analyzer" : "simple", "store"  
: "no"},  
"Name\_Std" : {"store" : "no", "type" : "string"},  
"Name\_Std\_NA" : {"store" : "no", "type" : "string", "index" :  
"not\_analyzed"}, }  
}

This stores the token counts for the "Name" field. Great.

Now if I wanted to also store the token counts for the "Name\_Std" field,  
how would I do it?

"Name": {  
"type": "multi\_field",  
"path" : "just\_name",  
"fields" : {  
"Name" : {"store" : "no","type" : "string"},  
"Name\_TC": {"type": "token\_count","analyzer" : "simple", "store"  
: "no"},  
"Name\_Std" : {"store" : "no", "type" : "string"},  
"Name\_Std\_TC": {"type": "token\_count","analyzer" : "simple",  
"store" : "no"},  
"Name\_Std\_NA" : {"store" : "no", "type" : "string", "index" :  
"not\_analyzed"}, }  
}

I tried this adding: "Name\_Std\_TC": {"type": "token\_count","analyzer" :  
"simple", "store" : "no"},  
but clearly this will not work because I did not specify what field the  
Name\_Std\_TC should store the token count for, so it counts the tokens in  
the default field of "Name".

Is there a way to specify the field name fore a multi\_field type to get the  
token count for that specific field?

Thanks!
